Dinner
An evening with Professor Shafi Ahmed: digital health at a turning point
08 octobre 2026
18:00-21:30
Join us for an exclusive dinner and discussion exploring how digital health and technology are reshaping healthcare – and what this means for organisations across the sector.
This is a pivotal moment for the sector, redefining how healthcare is delivered, funded and scaled. Against a backdrop of rapid change, including the UK's 10-year health plan and evolving regulatory landscape, the evening offers a chance to step back, share perspectives and explore where opportunities are emerging.
On the evening, you can expect to:
- Explore how digital innovation is creating new commercial opportunities.
- Hear from Professor Shafi Ahmed on the key challenges and trends facing the sector.
- Exchange insights with peers across healthcare, biotech, pharmatech and medtech.
- Gain practical insight from our sector-focused lawyers on supporting innovation, navigating regulation and developing emerging opportunities.
We are excited to be joined by Professor Shafi Ahmed for this discussion – a renowned surgeon, entrepreneur and global authority on digital health innovation. He is widely recognised for pioneering the use of technology in surgery and medical education.
Over dinner, you will connect with peers across healthcare, investment and advisory communities, discussing how health and technology are converging – and how legal and regulatory frameworks are adapting.
The drinks reception will commence at 18:00 and we will aim to have you on your way home by 21:30.
If you have any queries then please contact the event organiser, Lucy Strong.
