HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY

Whether you work for a national, local or private sector organisation, a supplier, an academic partner or local government, we all have our own perspectives on healthcare. When we bring those perspectives together we start to see some real magic happen, and that's what I'm seeing at HETT.

HETT is really an amazing event to attend. It brings together all the different partners of the system, the content is fantastic, the exhibitors are here, and the energy is great. I think what we will see is that after this event things are going to actually happen - people won't just be going back to their day jobs.

The important thing about HETT is that it is inclusive. It has a range of different topics for a range of different stakeholders in the digital ecosystem, but in a format that brings people together around these topics. Also, the panels have been made up of people on the ground delivering services, products and programmes who've got the experience of what they've been through and can share that with others.

HETT is a great event which I really look forward to attending. There's always a really good mix of speakers and people in the industry to catch up with - from innovators to people from health and care.

HETT is this space where everyone comes together - developers, suppliers, national bodies, practitioners - to talk about what they do and discover what solutions are out there. As the definition of who is a 'healthcare provider' expands beyond the traditional nurse, support worker or doctor to also include national policy bodies and tech R&D teams, an event like HETT enables us to figure out how to work together, speak the same language and uphold the values of health and care.

HETT is a great networking opportunity and has an important combination of suppliers to discover and have 1-2-1 meetings with, alongside the content, which has been very popular again this year. It's been great to see how many people have listened to panels and interacted with their peers and then followed that up in more depth afterwards. It's important to have different perspectives involved - our Deputy CIO, our CNIO, a couple of our Project Managers working on the Digital Workplace, and some of our clinicians have all attended this year.

As a CNIO, attending an event like HETT gives me an opportunity to sense check the direction of our digital transformation journey and have those critical conversations with exhibitors to explore the whole market.

Congratulations to the #HETT team for an amazing event and for developing a digital health community now and for the future. A premier event in the calendar.

What I benefited the most from HETT was the vast array of topics to choose from and attend. The successful application of technology, the simplicity of relevance of the subject matter, the inclusivity of everyone and engagement has been an experience that will stay with me for a long time.

A must-attend annual event that's not to be missed! Great packed event, amazing speakers, great insight into extraordinary innovative work by extraordinary people. Inspiring, thought-provoking, stimulating and well organised.
