Presented by Dan Obi, Senior Service Designer, Digital Health and Care Wales.
In this thought-provoking presentation, Daniel Eyre shares insights gained from over 25 years of leading NHS services in the UK and advising on, designing, and transforming health services.
Daniel will delve into how health systems worldwide encounter similar challenges and address them through varied processes of care system redesign, workforce change, and technology innovation. He will explore whether achieving outstanding 21st-century healthcare requires radical transformation or can be attained through incremental development of 20th-century models. Drawing parallels with other sectors and industries, Daniel will express the perspective that while the NHS and other health systems are capable of meeting the substantial demands of the 21st century, they must maximise their use of technology and human innovation to achieve this.
