This month, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust held its biggest and most ambitious research and innovation conference to date. Fresh from the continent’s hottest health innovation event, HLTH Europe, Partnership Director Kate Lodge reflects on some core themes across both conferences – where world-leading work took centre stage and global experts came together with passion and purpose to solve some of the hardest health challenges. 

World-leading researchers in Leeds, with expertise in systems design, engineering, applied health research and data science, are working with the city’s healthcare system to transform the quality of life for people who have multiple long-term health conditions.

An electrifying blend of cutting-edge health innovation, thought-provoking discussions and a thrilling showcase of future healthcare hit the European conference scene last year with HLTH Europe’s dynamic debut in Amsterdam. Building on that success, the four-day health conference – the continent’s largest - returns next week, with Leeds lighting up the stage across the agenda.
