Better Health & Care Hub set to tackle global health and care challenges
Initiative will address the rising tide of inequity, multimorbidity, and complex conditions.
Coin Street Conference Centre, London
Join us for the Better Health & Care Summit, a half-day event exploring how we can scale inclusive, sustainable and community-based approaches to health and care.
This year will spotlight the careforce, frugal innovation and community themes of the Better Health & Care Hub, with discussions on:
The 10-Year NHS Plan and what it means for health and care
New polling insights on the experiences and needs of informal carers
Project showcases featuring creative research and solutions from across King’s
Expect an interactive agenda with expert panels, roundtable discussions and a networking reception on the Coin Street rooftop (weather permitting). Further programme details will be published shortly.
This event is open to all but will be of most interest to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, community partners and those interested in improving and shaping the future of health and care. Whether you’re new to the Hub or already connected, this is a great opportunity to learn more and get involved.
