An evening to inform professionals what Pods are and their relevance to interoperability. With insightful talks & examples from the BBC, NHS, and the Solid Project.

The last few years have accelerated the demand for shared data across services, pushing interoperability to the forefront. Pods can power ecosystems of interoperable applications where individuals are free to use their data seamlessly across different applications and services.

Reimagining Health and Care IT
The demands on health and care services have never been higher. The large NHS IT initiatives over the last 20 years have cost billions with minimal improvement. Perhaps we should attempt something radical: put the individual at the center of our design?

Scott is a senior IT leader with 16 years of healthcare experience specialising in information systems architecture. He has extensive strategic and digital leadership experience across health economies including acute care, primary care, oncology and genomics.
