Scotland’s Health Research and Innovation Conference
A diverse and impactful programme has been announced for Scotland’s Health Research and Innovation Conference, taking place in Glasgow this October
The event theme 50 years of advancing healthcare encompasses the 50th anniversary of the Chief Scientist Office (CSO) of Scottish Government. The programme will reflect on accomplishments over the last five decades, whilst looking to the future, and the opportunities to unlock and accelerate Scotland’s full health research and innovation potential.
Held at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow on 31 October, it will bring together researchers, innovators, healthcare staff, policymakers, industry, and the public. It will explore how all can work together to tackle healthcare challenges, embed research, development, and innovation in our NHS, and maximise opportunities for improvement and growth.
Opening the conference will be Caroline Lamb, Chief Executive of NHS Scotland and Director-General Health and Social Care. It will be followed by Scotland’s Chief Scientist (Health) Professor Dame Anna Dominiczak outlining progress since CSO was first inaugurated in 1973.
