From Olympic gold to NHS champions

From hearing an Olympic gold medallist to frontline stories of digital adoption in health and social care, Joined-Up Health & Care 2018 provided lessons for urgently needed change.

InterSystems, a specialist in health information technology, held its annual Joined-Up Health & Care conference at The Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, just days before the NHS celebrated its 70th anniversary, and as InterSystems itself turns 40. 

Developed to consider the big challenges facing health and care, the conference provided a platform to discuss some of the big issues facing organisations that want to adopt new technology, from interoperability to managing complex delivery. 

“Control the controllable,” said four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent during his keynote address to delegates at the fifth annual conference. Sir Matthew might not have navigated a large-scale hospital IT deployment, or the task of integrating data across a myriad of organisations and care boundaries. But his ideas still resonated with the hundreds of individuals gathered in Birmingham at The Belfry, eager to inform their own prescriptions for keeping digital healthcare transformation afloat, efficient and effective.
