Scaling up for the genetics and data revolution – Registration and Networking
How do we best build comprehensive mass genetic testing and data platforms? This conference addresses this urgent, burning question for all university hospitals across Europe as new guidelines enforce the roll out of mass genetic testing, particularly in oncology. And university hospitals are also wrestling with the need for population health management systems linking them to primary care.
Building all this capacity is a huge challenge calling for new payor structures, cultural change and new partnerships. This one-day forum looks at what is achievable and at how all this can be delivered.
This forum along with our HBI Strategies for University Hospitals initiative and new editorial platform explores what best practice looks like in these areas, looks at the reality on the ground and digs more deeply into how senior managers are engaging with these issues.

Keynote: What is possible today?
Perhaps the most advanced genetic and population health management in the world is operated by Clalit, an integrated payor/provider that covers 3m Israelis which has had sophisticated electronic patient records for over 20 years. So with the right data, the right culture and the right systems, what is possible today? And what will be possible tomorrow?

Keynote discussion: Challenges and solutions
What are the main barriers to the roll out of comprehensive genetic testing platforms for all inpatients? And what further challenges are imposed by broader population health management systems? Here we dissect the barriers and suggest potential solutions which we then discuss during the day.
Speakers include:
Neil Wright, Commercial Director, Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust
Prof Anna Wedell, Director, Precision Medicine, Karolinska
Prof Ran Balicer, Chief Innovation Officer, Clalit

Keynote: Implementing personalised medicine in a university hospital setting
Anna looks at how Karolinska has created a virtual organisation where scientists and physicians find new ways of interacting, promoting cross-disciplinary collaborations. She also reflects on the real potential offered by a new generation of genomic tests, embedded in clinical medicine.

Building population health management solutions
University hospitals in Europe remain isolated from day-to-day primary care and lack the data to enable real insights into patient lives. How do you change that? What are the cultural changes that such a shift requires and how do you best build the links and data to provide a genuine 360 degree view of the patient?

Keynote: Deeper partnering
Building these new platforms calls for multi-decade programmes and much deeper and more intricate partnerships between university hospitals and research centres and industry. In this keynote we explore what these partnerships should look like.

Building massive data platforms: lessons and challenges
IT and healthcare are a volatile combination! There is a long history of failed data projects! So how do you best build data platforms that are scalable and deliver the right outcomes? Dementias Platform UK is a world leading medical data platform with research data on 3.5m people and 60 cohort studies which brings together data from a vast range of sources including imaging, medical health records and the genome. John looks at what he has learnt since 2014. How do you best build such a platform and what are the mistakes to avoid?
Prof John Gallacher, Director, Dementias Platform UK, Oxford University
