Reimagining business and management for a healthier society is our free webinar series bringing together thought leaders from across the emerging health ecosystem.
Interconnections between business and health sectors are not well understood. Nevertheless, companies are increasingly seeing health and healthcare as a place where they can do business while making a difference to society.
Reimagining Business and Management for a Healthier Society is a webinar series bringing together a diverse group of thought leaders who find themselves driving forward aspects of universal healthcare and wellbeing. Experts in big tech, consultancy, health innovation and finance will come together with academics to explore some of the emerging themes and questions of our time.

- Bridging interoperability with a blockchain – unlocking patient data for better outcomes
1:00pm (BST)
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.

- How do you reframe healthcare around preventative care?
1:00pm (GMT)
Healthcare challenges present a wicked problem for tired and overwhelmed health systems. The issues are known by many and solved by a few. However, many of us point to preventative care as the solution to slowing the team of patients. The political and financial will to drive it forward at scale is scant. How is the reframing of health around the patient and integrated care drawing us closer to finding answers that take us beyond therapeutics and into diagnostics and primary care?
In this webinar, we bring a panel of experts to discuss how to get preventative medicine at the heart of health and healthcare now.

- What is the role of small businesses in promoting health and well-being
1:00pm (GMT)
We are hearing much more about the role of businesses, primarily through their ESG agendas since the Covid-19 pandemic. There are explicit calls to have health featured more prominently, particularly in terms of metrics and the role of businesses in terms of their employees and customers. Yet, with the gig economy, we see the number of small businesses growing, with many operating online locally and globally. Consequently, this webinar focuses on the role of small businesses in promoting and championing the health agenda, particularly around equality and prevention – what is a small business to do?
