This panel session will consider whether there is enough risk being taken by local systems and providers to ensure that our progress with technology isn’t outpaced by the growing scale of system challenges, as we progress into a digital technological revolution. In tandem, the group will consider what can be done to counter the growing consensus that the UK is now an unattractive bet by those building and investing in health technology, with providers are going to other “more viable” countries.

On Tuesday 5th December, In London England, GIANT Health will be convening central assembly of all ICS/ICB leaders and stakeholders. Network with and learn from the leaders of the UK’s new ICS/ICB's - Integrated Care Systems, and meet the experts who are leading the dramatic and profound changes and innovation in the UK health sector. This year’s central assembly of all ICS/ICB leaders and stakeholders. Network with and learn from the leaders of the UK’s new ICS/ICB's - Integrated Care Systems, and meet the experts who are leading the dramatic and profound changes and innovation in the UK health sector.
During the show, we will explore the obstacles, visions, and developments of integrated care systems, providing delegates with insights into how to move forward through a mixture of keynote addresses and best-practice case studies. It will provide an opportunity to understand the ICS/ICB strategy, consider government proposals, look at the connection of services, and uncover how this restructuring can deal with the COVID-19 backlog and overcome health inequalities.
ICS/ICB will be prioritising the reduction of health inequalities as a central focus of the ICS/ICB agenda, drawing on the widest possible range of levers to support these efforts
Focusing on strengthening the development of place-based partnerships and PCNs, with ICS/ICBs building up from these more local partnerships rather than becoming overly distracted by national asks
Ensuring the changes support genuine multiagency partnerships that span the NHS, local government, voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and other partners, and that ICS/ICBs’ new responsibilities for NHS resources and performance don’t lead them to focus narrowly on the NHS in isolation

The National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom faces several challenges when it comes to procurement. Some of these include:
- Limited budgets: The NHS operates with tight budgets, which can limit the amount of money available for procurement.
- Complex regulations: The NHS is subject to a complex set of regulations, including EU procurement rules, which can make the procurement process more difficult.
- Lack of standardization: There is a lack of standardization in the procurement process across different NHS organizations, which can make it difficult for suppliers to understand the requirements of different organizations
- Limited supplier base: The NHS often relies on a limited number of suppliers, which can limit competition and increase prices.
- Long procurement cycles: The procurement process for the NHS can be slow, with long lead times for procurement and delivery of goods and services.
- Limited use of technology: The NHS has been slow to adopt modern procurement technologies, such as e-procurement systems, which can make the procurement process more efficient.
- Lack of transparency and accountability: The lack of transparency and accountability in the procurement process can make it difficult for stakeholders to understand how decisions are being made and who is responsible for them.
- Difficulty in measuring and evaluating performance: Measuring and evaluating the performance of suppliers is a challenge for the NHS, which can make it difficult to identify and address issues with suppliers.
