Join the debate. Shape the future of healthcare
'From the Hospital to the Home' - addressing 21st century challenges and opportunities for an era of patient-centric care.


The Financial Times, in partnership with Philips, will be hosting a series of meetings this year on the future of healthcare, and the emerging opportunities and challenges for key stakeholders, to include patients, doctors, payors, care organisations and hospitals.

FT Future Healthcare Event Series

The global healthcare industry is in the throes of a period of profound change and introspection. Consumers are becoming more directly involved in selecting and purchasing decisions regarding healthcare services, whilst advances in technology are transforming the way healthcare can be delivered, freeing it from a traditional, facility-based approach, and enabling healthcare to be delivered in new ways, and in new settings. In the process, multiple new opportunities are being created for key stakeholders in the healthcare system

Chaired by leading Financial Times correspondents, these highly topical events will bring together health insurers, hospital and care management organisations, patient representative bodies and government decision makers to discuss the opportunities and challenges in creating a modern, patient -focussed, and ultimately, sustainable healthcare system.
