Reimagining Business and Management for a Healthier Society webinar series
- Social and Environmental Responsibility for Health - Wednesday 27 October 2021
About this event:
Much of the discussion in health and healthcare currently focuses on how we can widen access to healthcare especially through health innovation and technology. It is without a doubt that we have an obligation to provide universal access to healthcare, but we also have an obligation to address the social and environmental issues that impact health.
The social and environmental determinants of health need to be addressed both in a local and global context. Many businesses are seeing these social determinants of health as part of the ESG (environmental, social and governance) responsibilities. In this webinar, we ask a panel of health and healthcare leaders to address the question of what it means to widen our responsibility beyond access, to include the social and environmental context of patients and citizens.
Event Information
Join the UCL Global Business School for Health for our webinar on the subject of the Social and Environmental Responsibility for Health. This event is the first in our series of 'Reimagining Health and Business for a Healthier Society' webinars that will run across the 2021/2022 academic year.

- Wearable Technology and the Future of Healthcare webinar - Wednesday 24 November
About this event:
Across the world, we are seeing an acceleration of chronic diseases coupled with ageing societies that have longer life-expectancies with more co-morbidities. Consequently, there is a drive for health innovations that help us prevent or diagnosis illness sooner. Wearable technology from smart devices such as watches, etc. have been around for over a decade, but in the past year, they have been the focus both by big tech and the healthcare sector.
Covid-19 has caused an acceleration in the development and piloting of “wearables” to assist not only with fitness and lifestyle changes, but the monitoring of patients particularly after being discharged from hospitals. The expansion of devices and their uses promises to change health and healthcare. In this webinar, we asked a panel of health innovators and leaders to address the question of whether wearables and health-tech directed at consumers/patients is the way forward for better healthcare.

- Universal Healthcare for All - A Question of Finance? - Wednesday 19th January 2022
Governments across the world are committed to achieving universal health coverage as part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The WHO has defined the goal “To ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them.” This aspiration for healthcare access particularly given the challenges of the past few years seems a long way off.
However, it has never been more important to achieve. Although government commitment is essential for taking this goal forward, there is also the question of how to finance such a system. In this webinar, we ask a panel of health experts from different health systems to address the question of whether it matters who the payers and providers are for delivering universal health and wellbeing.
SpeakersProfessor Gerard F. Anderson, Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School Public Health and Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Hospital Finance and Management
Professor Jolene Skordis, UCL, Vice-Dean (International) for Population Health Sciences and Director of UCL’s Centre for Global Health Economics

Sujata Rao, Former Union Secretary of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India- Health Innovation through Capital and Private Equity Markets - Wednesday 22 February 2022
Across the world, there is a new appreciation that health innovation is essential for driving forward better quality and access to healthcare. Yet, there is a huge funding gap especially for low and middle-income countries (LMICs). With the demand for innovation, we are seeing an increase in the use of capital and private equity markets for funding health innovation.
Health systems, as well as start-ups in HealthTech and hospitals, are collaborating with private equity firms to finance health innovation. In this webinar, we ask a panel of financial experts and innovators to address the question of whether capital and private equity markets are actually driving forward better and sustainable health innovation.
Speakers
Christopher Laing, NUS-Duke University and SingHealth, Associate Professor and Vice Dean, Medical School, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Singapore
Ezra Mehlman, General Partner at Health Enterprise Partners L.P and Columbia Business School
Ann Pettifor, economic consultant and author- Bridging interoperability with a blockchain – unlocking patient data for better outcomes - Wednesday 25th January 2023
The lack of accessibility to electronic medical records (EHR) has long been recognised as a barrier to improving health outcomes and care. While EHR systems are increasing, they tend to be internally focused within health organisations with poor interoperability between platforms. Without improvement in interoperability, digital technology, patient-centred care, and preventative health technology will continue to lag. With ageing populations with co-morbidity, solving the interoperability barrier becomes more urgent as patients continue to present differently in different EHR systems. A blockchain-based system is one possible solution.
In this webinar, we look at the challenges and opportunities that blockchain, coupled with crucial technology and regulatory environment, could have on liberating patients and generating an aligned healthcare system.
