Innovation for a healthier Wales
Connecting you with NHS patient facing clinicians, innovation leads, community health, industry, government and policy makers.

- Building on the excellent work that has been done around innovation adoption, we will consider the challenges involved in scaling change and adoption of new products, services and processes that deliver impact for patients across the whole NHS.
- Showcasing new technologies, digital health, NHS innovations and a wellbeing zone.
- NHS teams and colleagues from the health and care community across Wales, as well as the wider industry sector, will share clinical innovation and insights to improve patient outcomes.
- Over 400 delegates from clinical and care communities, industry and academia, from across Wales and the UK.
