Top health experts to speak at Science Park conference

PLYMOUTH Science Park is to hold a free conference on medical health and innovation with some of the city’s top medical experts giving key note speeches regarding the health of the people in the city and the future of health and medicine there.

Ann James, CEO of the Plymouth Hospitals and NHS Trust will be outlining the challenges faced by the NHS in the city which has unique characteristics influenced by its history, location, demographics and environment.

Collectively these factors have shaped the profile of its population and created particular challenges for the organisations responsible for the health and well-being of the City, challenges outlined by Kelechi Nnoaham, Director of Public Health of Plymouth City Council.

Christian Jenkins, Director of Operations of Plymouth Science Park, says: “This event brings together the representatives from the organisations tasked with this responsibility and expert speakers who are developing the technology and processes that will deliver potential solutions.

Professionals associated with the health, medical, life sciences or well-being sectors who would like to learn more about the challenges faced by our health providers and the people of Plymouth will all benefit from hearing the views of these leaders in their field.”

The conference, Health and the City, will be held from 08:30 to 12:30pm, including lunch, on January 27th, 2016.
