There has been a recent rush to book for the Royal Society of Medicine’s two day conference entitled “Integrated Care- how can technology help” on 24th & 25th November, so we are featuring it one more time, especially as it looks to be only one of two health & care technology events this autumn that also offers CPD points (the other is the TSA conference next week).
With a wide range of speakers from across the world, including Adam Darkins (ex VHA, now Medtronics), Robert Wah (President, American Medical Association) as well the UK’s very own Cathy Hassell and Tim Kelsey, this conference will explore the many ways in which technology can assist in the effective delivery of integrated care to improve patient outcomes, at reduced cost.
The event will cover all the principal care disciplines which so often end up failing to work together to deliver holistic care: primary care, secondary care, mental health, social care and third sector engagement. Even within each of these areas, coordinating care can be challenging when people have to rely on paper and word of mouth to communicate. Technology offers a way of vastly improving that coordination between care-givers, especially when they are in different organisations. It also enables care to be provided in a different way, with the patient as the focus, rather than the system. A key element of this now is the ability through the internet and mHealth to engage directly with patients and their carers too, to provide a seamless support environment.
The conference is now kindly being sponsored by the TBS Group, Inhealthcare and Medvivo.
You can book here – being a charity dedicated to medical education, the RSM’s charges are particularly appealing.
