All the latest.

We were delighted to host Peter Birch from Talking HealthTech at our recent Future Led panel, co-hosted with the Clinical Skills Development Service at Metro North Health. 

AI isn’t new, but the hype of Gen AI has grabbed the headlines, sparked our collective imagination and raised new levels of ethical and governance debate. The hype would lead you to believe it’s fast becoming ubiquitous and can solve any problem, and leadership FOMO is real as organisations scramble to leverage this new technology.  

In healthcare, the promise of technology is clear: reduce pressure on staff, improve patient outcomes and scale efficiently across services. And yet, for those working on the frontline, the reality often falls short. Technology, despite its potential, is too often abandoned or underused.

In difficult times such as these, public policy plays a critical role in addressing the increasingly complex and interrelated issues we face today. But we need to make the development and implementation of good public policy more collaborative if we really want to create better, more sustainable outcomes.

In an era where technological advancements are reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, organisations are grappling with the challenge of harnessing emerging technologies to drive smarter service delivery. Recognising the value of collaboration to navigate this complexity, Liquid recently hosted our first Future Led workshop – a forum designed to foster meaningful conversations, generate insights and derive value from cross-functional expertise.

As the year draws to a close, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on the Future Led events of 2024 and the community we have created through this highly engaging series.

In our latest Future Led panel discussion, we invited six experts to challenge the status quo of healthcare funding. Traditional funding models prioritising efficiency and activity are no longer fit for purpose in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. The panel explored how we might pivot towards human-centred metrics that focus on patient wellbeing and meaningful outcomes.

In a time defined by technological innovation, digital health services are transforming healthcare delivery, offering more than just convenience. These services have the potential to mitigate longstanding disparities in access to healthcare as well as empower individuals who previously couldn’t, to advocate for their own wellbeing.

During our recent Future Led panel discussion on futuristic healthcare technology, I had the privilege of moderating a diverse group of experts, each contributing a unique perspective on how technology is changing healthcare.
