THE VIRTUAL HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP NETWORK EXPO
Thanks for making 2020 a great show!
Check back soon for more information on our next event.

Supporting collaboration & innovation in healthcare
2020 has been one of the most challenging years in the history of the NHS. With innovation happening at a pace that’s never been seen before, there’s appetite to continue this momentum and set the stage for ongoing improvement.
Virtual HPN Expo is a chance for 1000+ senior leaders, clinicians and managers in the NHS to connect and collaborate with the industry’s most transformational suppliers, in the biggest virtual event the sector has ever seen. It’s also CPD-accredited – fully trackable towards your time requirements.
So many tradeshows talk about digital disruption and transformation in healthcare. Yet they stick to models of collaboration, learning and networking that are from a different time. We’re pushing the boundaries of what a tradeshow means and giving delegates and partners the chance to collaborate in ways that better reflect the times we’re in.

TESTIMONIALS
-
I need to make myself available to learn what other trusts are doing, while being present in my own trust.
Lisa EmeryCIORoyal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust -
I believe it is incumbent upon all of us as senior health leaders to offer strategic direction, that goes without saying. But we also need to amplify curiosity, agility and a passion to improve, fostering commitment in the art of the possible.
Jonathan LofthouseSite CEOKing's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust -
The only thing that’s going to be constant now is change. Trusts and staff need to be ready for whatever the future brings and sharing best practice between trusts, safely, is an important part of the solution.
James DevineCEOMedway NHS Foundation Trust -
As NHS trusts, the need to collaborate and learn from each other has never been stronger. But neither has our need to reduce unnecessary social interaction as a society.
Paul BythewayChief Operating OfficerUniversity Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Foundation Trust -
Events like the Healthcare Partnership Network are really important in bringing together senior leaders both from the industry and from the NHS, because you can start to see the connections that people are making. There’s a lot of synergy and energy around being able to look at a product a company has to offer and being able to relate that to what happens in the NHS.
