Could Better Access To Health Information Help Relieve Pressure On The NHS?

The NHS, like many health services around the world, is under significant pressure. Rising patient demand, the burden of chronic disease and limited resources mean that health systems, and the people who work for them, are being asked to do more and more without a similar increase in funding. For…

Enjoyed the femtech track today at Giant Health Event - plenty of unmet needs in women's health with innovation still needed in contraception, menstruation, infertility, menopause, incontinence. A very lucrative market for medtech companies to sink their teeth into!

Catherine Longworth, Reporter, Medtech Insight

Have you ever been to an event where a presentation has moved you to the point of tears? I just have! Seeing the way VR can impact in palliative care was truly phenomenal

“The networking opportunities created by GIANT Health are vast - system leaders, innovators, movers and shakers, just about anyone doing anything significant in digital health is on the GIANT Health circuit”...

Oli Sleeman, Digital Health ‘mover and shaker’

It was an incredible opportunity to showcase the innovation work that we have been undertaking at Alder Hey. We had over 4hours of content in 30 talks from 25 members of our staff and partners. Normally we would never have been able to get such a diverse group of people down to an international event in London. Our twitter impressions went through the roof and I have already had a few very valuable discussions off the back of the profile generated. From our teams point of view it really has been a painless process to get all of this material up and on to your platform in partnership with your team. I particularly like the fact that it is continuing to be spread across your network. I think we should be doing more of these types of events and we have learnt a lot with your team about how to curate this type of material."" Iain Hennessey

Consultant Paediatric and Neonatal Surgeon Clinical Director, Alder Hey Innovation Hub Honorary Associate Professor, Lead for Healthcare Technology and Design, University of Liverpool

"""The team at Alder Hey were honoured to be part of such a prestigious global healthcare innovation event; we work so hard behind the scenes incubating our innovation pipeline and an opportunity for the team and our partners to share and showcase our portfolio to a global stage is invaluable. The event was unanimously praised as a success, we look forward to future events and being a Giant partner"" Louise Shepherd CBE, Chief Executive Alder Hey Hospital "

Louise Shepherd CBE, Chief Executive Alder Hey Hospital

Barry and the team have a vision for Health tech that goes further than geographical boundaries or individual solutions. It ranges into whole ecosystems of partners working in concert to fulfil the needs of all people. Giant Health 2020 embodied this spirit of bringing that ecosystem together to showcase the best of what is out there. I was impressed by the diversity of attendees and the speakers and all in all the 2 days were superb.

Jaivir Pall, Co-Founder of Well Tech

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to be part of the Giant Health event again this year. I love working with you and your team. It’s such a positive culture where anything feels possible. You’re a genuine inspiration, thank you for that.

Paul Devlin | Improvement Manager Emergency Care Improvement Support Team (ECIST) Elective & Emergency Care Improvement NHS England & NHS Improvement

I really enjoyed Giant Health - I thought you all put together a really excellent set of conversations with credible leaders. I think the GIANT team managed to get perfectly right with this event was the mixture of topics and speakers. The event had a great balance of content from pharma, NHS, investors, patient-facing and startups and enablers (like for example the marketing/podcast topics)…..it really was excellent.
