You're invited:
Essex

Join colleagues from across Mid and South Essex for a day of practical health technology - be inspired, hear real examples, and explore tools that can support your day-to-day work.

Be inspired, hear real examples, and explore practical ways technology can support your day-to-day work. Come for an hour, or come for the day - it's your event, around your shifts. No travel required.

Why come along

A day built around you and your patients.

01
See what's possible

Try the latest health technology hands-on and picture how it could work in your team or for your patients.

02
Hear real NHS examples

Learn from colleagues about what's actually working elsewhere in the NHS - not sales pitches.

03
Shape what we adopt

Your feedback feeds directly into the trust's digital strategy. The people who use the tools help choose them.

04
Come as you are

Drop in around your shift. Refreshments and lunch are provided.

What you'll see

Clinical & Diagnostic Innovation

Diagnostics, clinical decision tools, and innovations that improve accuracy and speed at the point of care.

Infrastructure & Equipment

The networks, hardware, cloud, and devices that everything else depends on.

Operational Efficiency & Flow

Scheduling, flow, capacity, and operational tools that ease pressure across the system.

Safety & Risk Reduction

Patient safety, risk, incident, and assurance technology that protects staff and patients.

The Art of the Possible
