Tay Health Tech Conference 2025

The first Tay Health Tech Conference took place in May, with a Keynote from Tom Steele of the Scottish Ambulance Service. Held at Discovery Point, Dundee, the conference utilised an important and dynamic venue at the heart of the riverside. An audience comprising academics, researchers, members of the public, industry, health and social care staff, civic bodies and further education, came together and heard about:

  • The challenges and innovations within the Scottish Ambulance Service
  • Healthcare solutions in NHS Tayside
  • The healthcare innovation landscape in the Tayside region and the plethora of support available for innovators
  • New activity to simplify and streamline NHS Inform
  • Our own Grand Challenge projects
