This seminar was timed to take place as the Coalition programme for government outlined its intention to investigate ways of improving access to preventative healthcare for those in disadvantaged areas as part of the strategy to tackle health inequalities.
The seminar looked at what more could be done to improve the early diagnosis and prevention of illness - focusing on the role of new technology in diagnosis and monitoring, what more could be done to encourage research and innovation in healthcare, and the challenges faced in technology adoption.
Sessions also examined the role of primary care in early diagnosis, including opportunities through increased access to diagnostic equipment in GP-led health centres and polyclinics, and how healthy living and prevention campaigns could be communicated more effectively to the general population, with reference to expected pressures on government social marketing budgets.
