11th Session: Working in Digital Health and MedTech | Monday 17 October, 7-8:30pm 

Digital health and MedTech have completely transformed over the last 5 years, most notably during the COVID-19 pandemic. New technologies and innovations, billions in investment, and a rapid acceptance of new ways of delivering care and research has seen the sector grow at unprecedented pace.

This expansion has seen a growing number of clinicians building careers in digital health, across a range of organisations from start-ups to global conglomerates, and in both the private and public sector. The breath and variety of opportunities has seen the emergence of digital health specialists, who possess a skillset as unique as that of academics or educators, and are often responsible for some of the most exciting innovations and developments in the healthcare sector.

We are excited to be joined by three fascinating speakers from across the industry to share their own experiences of working in digital health. We will hear about the realities of working in tech start-ups, larger corporations and in the public sector. We will also discuss some thoughts on the future of the industry, and share advice for those looking to gain make a move into this space.
