How Innovation is Healing Healthcare
Join us for an evening that shines a spotlight on the ground-breaking work of the Centre for Innovation, Transformation, and Improvement (CITI) at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Hospital Trust.
With the NHS facing unprecedented demand, Guy’s and St Thomas Charity’s mission to deliver better, faster, and more equitable healthcare has never been more critical. They’re pioneering healthcare innovation through AI and remote monitoring, reducing hospital visits, and providing timely care to prevent health deterioration.
The discussion will delve into their game-changing algorithms prioritising outpatient appointments and how these models are extending to various medical services. The panel will be led by Chris Spellman, CITI Director of Delivery & Transformation, followed by a chance to network and continue the conversation on how we can help shape the future of healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and effectiveness, both in the UK and globally.
