SUMMARY:From hospital to community – partnering to transform respiratory Point-of-Care Testing
DESCRIPTION:Respiratory infections are a major contributor to winter pressures in healthcare\, particularly within secondary where they drive increases in emergency attendance\, admissions and hospital bed occupancy. Implementing a community-based “Test and Treat” pathway incorporating a Point-of-Care Test (POCT) offers a practical and scalable approach to reducing patient deterioration and avoiding unnecessary hospitalisation. By providing rapid\, on-the-spot results\, POCT enables medical professionals to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections\, support appropriate prescribing decisions\, and initiate timely treatment. Through close collaboration between industry\, the Health Innovation Network and the NHS\, these diagnostic tests can be effectively deployed in community settings\, supporting the NHS’s shift toward preventive\, proactive\, and locally delivered care. This approach not only transforms care delivery\, but also strengthens system resilience during periods of high demand. \nOur speaker\nDavid Linden_small\nDr David Linden BEng\, PhD\, MBA\, CEng\, FIMechE\nDr David Linden brings over 30 years of senior leadership experience across research\, product development\, marketing\, and commercial strategy in healthcare. In his current respiratory roles with the Health Innovation Network\, he leads cross-organisational initiatives spanning industry and the NHS\, to assess the real-world impact of innovations on patients and the healthcare system\, finding the most promising solutions for national NHS adoption programmes. With a proven track record in invention and business development\, David is driven by a passion for identifying and accelerating game-changing innovations that tackle the NHS’s toughest challenges\, stimulate economic growth\, and deliver measurable improvements in patient outcomes.

SUMMARY:Futures\, Foresight and Horizon Scanning Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:This year’s conference is shaped by the central theme of Equity\, Ethics and Inclusivity — a call to action for more responsible\, transparent\, and equitable approaches to shaping the future of health and care.  As we face rapid technological advancements\, shifting societal needs\, and increasingly complex health challenges\, we must ensure that innovation works for everyone\, not just the few. Across all discussions and sessions\, we will be exploring how equity\, ethics\, and inclusivity is embedded into foresight\, research\, and decision-making practices from the outset. Through this lens\, we will explore the following key sub-themes : \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvancing Horizon Scanning\, Foresight & Futures Methodologies – Exploring cutting-edge methodologies in horizon scanning\, foresight & futures.\nEmerging Disruptors – A deep dive into new and transformative trends\, such as AI-driven health solutions\, digital transformation\, and sector-wide challenges\nInsight to Implementation – Bridging the gap between horizon scanning\, foresight\, futures thinking\, and real-world adoption of technology and innovation.\n\n  \nWhat to look forward to\n\nEngaging keynote presentations from leaders in health\, technology\, ethics\, and futures thinking\nInteractive workshops designed to challenge assumptions and generate inclusive\, future-focused dialogue\nThemed presentations showcasing leading-edge work across foresight\, innovation\, and policy\nA curated exhibition highlighting responsible and inclusive innovation in practice \nMeaningful networking opportunities with cross-sector professionals\nAn optional conference meal on Wednesday 19th November at Blackfriars Restaurant in Newcastle

SUMMARY:Tackling cancer inequalities through interdisciplinary research
DESCRIPTION:Explore our research priorities to transform understanding of cancer biology and its intersection with health disparities and inequalities\n\n\n\nNearly 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Yet one of the greatest remaining challenges is understanding how and why cancers affect people differently. \nMarked differences remain in risk factor exposure\, incidence\, stage at diagnosis\, treatment and outcomes across the UK\, mainly driven by inequalities. For example\, cancer death rates are nearly 60% higher for people living in the most deprived areas of the UK compared with the least deprived. \nWhat is the role and contribution of biology underlying these differences? \nHow do these biological mechanisms intersect with environmental\, social and other drivers to contribute to inequalities and health disparities in cancer? \nAddressing these key research areas is one of the ambitious goals of our new EDI in research strategic approach. \nJoin our webinar to hear the perspectives of experts working across disciplines to address cancer inequalities. \nYou’ll also learn more about how we plan to stimulate research in this area and how you can get involved through upcoming funding opportunities. \nMeet our speakers and co-chairs: \nFieke Froeling\, Clinical Senior Lecturer\, University of Glasgow and Team SAMBAI\, Cancer Grand Challenges \nAlastair Lamb\, Senior Clinical Lecturer\, Barts Cancer Institute and Honorary Consultant Urological Surgeon\, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital \nSue Astley Theodossiadis\, Professor of Intelligent Medical Imaging\, The University of Manchester. \nBernard Rachet\, Professor of Cancer Epidemiology\, LSHTM and Inequalities of Cancer Outcomes Network Lead \nFaaria Mohammed\, Patient representative\, member of our Research and Strategy Cancer Insights Panel \nMathew Tata\, Research Programme Manager\, EDI in Research Lead\, Cancer Research UK \nShewly Choudhury\, Head of Research Careers and Culture\, Cancer Research UK

SUMMARY:Measure Twice\, Cut Once: one day workshop
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to deep dive into the world of intraoperative measurements and feedback in this one day interactive workshop.\n\n\n\nAcross surgical specialties\, intraoperative measurements have become the bridge between device placement and physiological function\, ensuring that every implant not only fits anatomically but performs as intended within the body’s complex biological systems. \nIn this one-day workshop\, we will bring together a diverse group of experts (including surgeons\, engineers\, health economists and PPIE representatives)\, using exemplars from cardiology\, neurosurgery\, urology\, and emerging neurostimulation domains to share ideas of how intraoperative sensing and feedback are transforming surgical precision and outcomes.

SUMMARY:Advancing Cardiovascular Monitoring: From Radar Sensing to Wearable Emergency Detection
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Ela Gruzewska (Google) and Jake Sunshine (University of Washington and Google)\, will explore new advances in using consumer devices aimed at improved cardiovascular monitoring. Their talks will range from heart-rate sensing using radar to detecting cardiac arrest using commodity sensors and wearables. \nJake Sunshine will explore how passive sensing on commodity devices can be employed to recognise life-threatening cardiac and breathing emergencies. \nHe will discuss: \nResearch and development of systems to detect cardiopulmonary emergencies with a focus on watch-based detection of cardiac arrest. \nThe challenges involved in constructing these systems as well as lessons learned in real world deployment. \nEla Gruzewska will explain how Google’s research demonstrated transfer learning between consumer-grade radar modalities\, specifically from Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar\, for heart-rate monitoring. Drawing on this work\, Ela will highlight how transfer learning can reduce the need for new\, device-specific data collection\, accelerating research and development in the field. \nThis session will be especially valuable for researchers\, clinicians\, digital-health developers.

SUMMARY:Soft Robotics for Healthcare 26 - Shaping the Future of Soft Robotics in Health
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to SoRoH 2026\, the UK’s flagship event for soft robotics in healthcare\nFollowing our over-subscribed inaugural conference in 2024\, we’re proud to return with a better\, more ambitious programme. In January 2026\, we’re bringing together a broad mix of researchers\, clinicians\, engineers\, policymakers\, regulators\, and innovators from across the UK and beyond\, all working to accelerate the translation of soft robotic technologies into real-world healthcare. \nSoft robotics is transforming how we think about the way robotics can impact healthcare systems—from surgical tools that move with the body to wearable assistive devices and implantables that respond intelligently to human physiology. At SoRoH 2026\, we’ll explore how this rapidly evolving field can address unmet and emergent health needs\, improve patient outcomes\, and reshape medical practice.
