Healthcare Science: A catalyst for delivering the new healthcare system is a major event for healthcare scientists, providing a unique opportunity to hear and engage with leading figures from the Department of Health, NHS and other major healthcare organisations about the key issues for healthcare scientists as we move towards implementing the changes in April 2013.

It will highlight how healthcare scientists need to use their leadership skills to effectively influence at a local level, how they can drive forward the innovation agenda, can use new education and training programmes to support new ways of working and use science and knowledge to improve practice. The event is supported by the Academy for Healthcare Science as well as other NHS organisations.
