Personalised care, data and standards at the heart

of the PRSB’s conference

One the 20th of June, the PRSB connected with a range of experts and leaders from across the digital health and social care landscape and discussed some of the most important developments, opportunities and advancements in the sector.

At our Navigating the Data Frontier conference, we heard about examples of how using standardised, integrated health and social care data, and collaborating with care providers, system suppliers and people will deliver personalised care, remove barriers and burdens, improve workforce processes, and provide further opportunities to innovate and digitise. Witnessing so much appetite and so many bright ideas for change, we are excited for the future of the digital health and social care!

Thank you to our speakers for providing such a variety of perspectives and sharing with us their insights and key take-away lessons from their own experience and expertise.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event such a vivid platform for networking and exchanging knowledge!

Finally, but not the least, thank you to our sponsors – Access Group, Riviam, Ethical Healthcare Consulting and Fusion eCare Solutions!
