The Dods Group unveils Festival of Health for 2020

Dods’ Festival of Health, which is being held at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, has been scheduled for the 9th and 10th of September 2020, and is being supported by the NHS providers. It has been suggested that the event will witness as many as five-thousand attendees from across the UK, including NHS social care and clinical practitioners as well as industry leaders with skills in transport, housing, employment and education, in order to celebrate collaboration, revolution and development in population health.

Dod’s CEO, Simon Presswell, stated: “Health and care professionals are increasingly looking to work more collaboratively with wider partners to improve health outcomes in their area. Festival of Health will meet a growing demand for an event of this nature and we are excited to have launched this as the UK’s first national Population Health management conference and exhibition.”

Chief Operating Officer at NHS Providers, Mark Stevenson, stated: “We are really pleased to be supporting the first Festival of Health event which provides a platform for health and care providers across the whole system to come together, share learning and overcome challenges. NHS trusts and foundation trusts are playing a central role in driving forward innovative and collaborative care with their local partners. The broad audience at this event is very helpfully also reflective of the fact that the journey to integrated care, improving health outcomes in local populations and empowering people to manage their own health is a shared goal across the NHS, government, local authorities and the wider system.”
