Medical focus for CW’s SIG event at The Bradfield Centre

Cambridge Wireless (CW) is holding its next HealthTech Special Interest Group (SIG) on 16 July.

Titled ‘Healthcare Without Walls: Revolution or Risk?’, the half-day event will explore the rapid shift from hospital-centred care to decentralised, community-based healthcare models.

Hosted at The Bradfield Centre, the event will explore the real-world technologies and case studies enabling this shift toward decentralised models of care. A convened panel of experts from healthcare, medtech and policy will discuss the opportunities and obstacles in meeting diverse community needs, while delivering collaborative solutions that propel innovation and enhance patient-centred care.

The panel consists of:

- Dr Alexis Joannides, consultant Neurosurgeon, Addenbrooke’s Hospital;

- James Morrow, GP and partner, Granta Medical Practices

- Adam Igra, director of Innovation, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

- Ian Newington, project manager, NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in brain injury.

More than 50 attendees have already registered to attend the event, which runs from 1.30pm to 5pm.

Tickets are free for CW members, NHS staff and young pofessionals, and £50-plus VAT for non-members.

CW SIG Champion, Peter Ferguson, who is strategic account director (pharmaceutical) at Analog Devices, who will be chairing the session.

“I’m really excited about this event, particularly timely given the new NHS 10-year plan,” said Peter. “We have convened an expert panel and as with all our SIG events, we’re expecting a lively discussion.”
