IHPN Annual Summit 2024 Event Programme

David Hare
Chief Executive, IHPN

Thank you to everyone for attending today’s IHPN’s Annual Summit 2024 – our tenth year holding the event which we couldn’t do without the fantastic support once again from Bevan Brittan.

With a new Government in place and a forthcoming 10 Year Plan for Health due next Spring, today’s Summit is an ideal opportunity to look ahead at what the next decade will hold for the independent health sector as we continue to meet the needs of growing numbers of both NHS and private patients.

If the last ten years are anything to go by, it’s clear that making predictions about the future can be a foolhardy endeavour (!) but we are delighted to be joined today by so many brilliant speakers from the healthcare world and beyond to provide their insights on what the sector can expect in the years ahead. And please do take a look at our new report “Tomorrow’s World” which sets out what independent sector leaders themselves see as the key trends and developments in healthcare in the next decade.

It remains a real privilege for all of us at IHPN to represent and support you as members. We look forward to continuing working with you and your organisations in the year ahead and we hope you have a fantastic time at today’s summit.

Bevan Brittan is proud to sponsor the 10th anniversary of the IHPN Annual Summit, a key event exploring the future of independent healthcare. As we celebrate a decade of collaboration and innovation, this year’s summit provides a timely opportunity to examine what the next ten years hold for independent providers, their evolving relationship with the NHS, and how to better meet the dynamic needs of patients.

With the healthcare landscape continually transforming through new innovations, changing patient expectations, and policy shifts, the summit will address essential questions on building stronger partnerships and enhancing the role of independent providers. Together with the NHS, independent providers have a unique opportunity to leverage their strengths to improve patient outcomes, expand access, and foster a system that is resilient and responsive to future challenges.

As the independent sector has grown, so has Bevan Brittan. However we remain committed to assisting providers as they navigate a developing and changing market. We are excited to support this vital conversation, fostering collaboration and innovation that will shape the future of independent healthcare for years to come.
