Webinar

The webinar will give in-depth info on NHS, enlighten us on the latest developments on the “Ageing society” priorities, investment opportunities and the New Deal program “Build” in Britain as a response to the consequences of the pandemic including infrastructure in hospitals. 

Since its inception in 1948 the NHS has played a significant part in British politics and been of great interest to international healthcare companies. Why? Because the NHS is the largest publicly funded healthcare system in the world and treats over 1.4 million people every 24 hours making it an attractive business opportunity. Although the system is integrated into the UK economy, the government has been encouraging foreign investment through the launch of various programs and campaigns. 
In this webinar we would therefore like to address: what determines if you succeed with selling to the NHS? And can the pandemic change the prevailing model of how the NHS is run?” 

Britain’s Industrial Strategy has four Grand Challenges and Healthy Ageing is one of these. Healthy Ageing is more than simply the promotion of good health and prevention or treatment of ill health. It is about creating supportive products, services and environments that maintain people’s functional ability so that they can continue to take part as active and productive members of society, even when their health limits their intrinsic capacity. 

The CCGs, which retains responsibility for commissioning primary care services such as GP, specialized hospital services and others, will be a part of this webinar, as well.
