Introduction from the Chairman of the stage Speaker  
Dr. Jacob Skinner,
CEO, Thrive Wearables |
| 09:05 - 09:45 | Is tech the saviour of women's healthcare? Is a digital first approach the answer for women's health care? Or do we still need to see women face to face in a physical location? How much can tech do to improve inequality, and increase awareness, access and outcomes in women's health?And who will pay for this? Does it all sit with women as the consumer? Can the NHS afford to ignore the progress in digital health? Or will healthcare providers adopt and integrate digital innovation into the mainstream?

| 11:00 - 11:30 | Innovative use of VR in surgical training across high-, low- and middle-income settings.
The VRiMS (Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery) research group is working to democratise surgical training in low- and middle-income settings through initiatives using 360 degree video to film cadaveric operations. These can be live-streamed to low-cost headsets, enabled by innovative conferences focussed on bidirectional learning. We recently demonstrated this proof-of-concept through a Ugandan/UK cross-continental conference, in collaboration with GASOC (the Global Anaesthetic, Surgical and Obstetric Trainee Collaborative), with new hubs being set up in Kenya, Sudan, and beyond.

Trends in NHS technology procurement: The formalisation of Integrated Care Systems across England has led to, among other things, the devolution of some decision-making powers around technology procurement to a more regional level. Who controls these technology budgets? Which strategic priorities are informing the way Integrated Care Boards approach the adoption of digital technology across their footprint?Nick Renaud-Komiya, former health policy journalist and managing director of NRK Communications, will explore what this means for technology vendors large and small looking to bring their innovations to clinicians and patients today.
