SUMMARY:NHS and life sciences: collaborating to shape the future
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 23rd September 2025 \nVenue: The King’s Fund\, 11-13 Cavendish Square London W1G 0AN \nThe UK has a strong track record as a hub for life sciences. However\, with government radically reshaping the national leadership and management of the NHS\, overhauling the function and purpose of integrated care boards\, and developing its life sciences vision\, the NHS must improve and transform care. With the expected 10-year plan\, life sciences sector plan and 10-year industrial strategy laying the foundations for future collaborative advancements between the NHS and life sciences\, the sector has a significant opportunity to enhance the nation’s health and economic prosperity through encouraging and supporting investment in this high-growth sector. These advancements encompass everything from pharmaceutical and medtech development to genomic and diagnostic testing and digital health. For example\, exciting innovations are harnessing AI for faster image interpretation and automating laboratory and genomic testing to dramatically improve treatment choices. \nHowever\, a thriving and dynamic life sciences industry that enhances patient care and collaborates with the efforts of integrated care systems\, voluntary\, community\, and social enterprises (VCSEs)\, and the broader health and care system through NHS collaboration has yet to reach its full potential. This is due to numerous barriers\, including navigating different organisational cultures and contexts across the public and private sectors\, and building relationships and trust between partners. Challenges persist in bridging the gap between the life sciences sector and the NHS and broader health and care system. These include limited or ringfenced funding\, regulatory changes\, and deeply entrenched barriers to scaling and adoption across the NHS. \nThis conference will explore opportunities to enhance current successes and strengthen collaborative approaches\, and examine how key players in life sciences and the health and care sector can unite their ambitions\, skills and resources to foster partnerships between the NHS and industry. Together\, this collaboration will drive improvements in care\, achieve better outcomes for people\, and create meaningful change. Session topics include: \n\nAmbitious plans for the NHS and life sciences…are we ready?\nMaking care closer to home a reality now – could collaboration help unlock its potential?\nBeyond the horizon – understanding how digital innovation and technologies can shape tomorrow’s health and care\nPutting in place the infrastructure to support partnership working and collaboration across the NHS and life sciences\nEnsuring people and communities and the VCSE sector are at the heart of NHS and life sciences collaboration\nDo we have the right workforce for a health and care system fuelled by NHS and life sciences collaboration? What opportunities does collaboration present for the workforce?\nHow can developments in life sciences support the shift from sickness to prevention?\nCan we really afford the future? A look at what’s coming down the track in life sciences innovation and collaboration.\n\n  \nClick here to register for the event\nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact The King’s Fund events team at events@kingsfund.org.uk. \n  \nPlease use the discount code SEHTA_10 at checkout. Please note\, the code is valid until 1st September 2025 and only applies to SME/Commercial tickets.
