We are very excited to announce that three members of the Akeso Team will be attending the HSJ Digital Transformation Summit on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th February 2025.
This two-day event will tackle the NHS’s most pressing challenges, focusing on the pivotal role of digital, data, and technology solutions in driving systematic transformation.
Interactive Discussion Group: Futureproofing Care with Technology-Enabled Virtual Wards: Building Resilience and Equity in Digital Healthcare
We will be leading an Interactive Discussion Group around the topic of building resilience and equity through technology-enabled wards. Virtual Wards have taken off since Covid-19 and with the recent publication of the NHS England Virtual Wards Operating Framework and heading into the 10 Year Plan, this session will allow for the exploration of what the future of technology-enabled care looks like and how we can build digital equity across the system.
