The NHS is a much-loved institution but the system is on its knees and facing an entrenched range of problems from confidential data going missing to blocked beds, from dangerously long waits in A&E to lack of timely access to information and unempowered patients.
Could blockchain technology help cut costs, reduce the administrative burden, securely track test results, and safely share data to empower patients and the medical profession? And from the perspective of enterprise and investors, where is the real return on investment in healthcare reform in both the short and longer term?
Come and find out what blockchain is and what it means for healthcare reform. And meet the NHS doctors, reformers and innovators embracing blockchain and distributed ledger technology to help build the NHS of the future.
Please arrive at We Work Old St between 6 – 6.30pm for registration and networking.
