SUMMARY:NHS and life sciences: collaborating to shape the future
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 23rd September 2025 \nVenue: The King’s Fund\, 11-13 Cavendish Square London W1G 0AN \nThe UK has a strong track record as a hub for life sciences. However\, with government radically reshaping the national leadership and management of the NHS\, overhauling the function and purpose of integrated care boards\, and developing its life sciences vision\, the NHS must improve and transform care. With the expected 10-year plan\, life sciences sector plan and 10-year industrial strategy laying the foundations for future collaborative advancements between the NHS and life sciences\, the sector has a significant opportunity to enhance the nation’s health and economic prosperity through encouraging and supporting investment in this high-growth sector. These advancements encompass everything from pharmaceutical and medtech development to genomic and diagnostic testing and digital health. For example\, exciting innovations are harnessing AI for faster image interpretation and automating laboratory and genomic testing to dramatically improve treatment choices. \nHowever\, a thriving and dynamic life sciences industry that enhances patient care and collaborates with the efforts of integrated care systems\, voluntary\, community\, and social enterprises (VCSEs)\, and the broader health and care system through NHS collaboration has yet to reach its full potential. This is due to numerous barriers\, including navigating different organisational cultures and contexts across the public and private sectors\, and building relationships and trust between partners. Challenges persist in bridging the gap between the life sciences sector and the NHS and broader health and care system. These include limited or ringfenced funding\, regulatory changes\, and deeply entrenched barriers to scaling and adoption across the NHS. \nThis conference will explore opportunities to enhance current successes and strengthen collaborative approaches\, and examine how key players in life sciences and the health and care sector can unite their ambitions\, skills and resources to foster partnerships between the NHS and industry. Together\, this collaboration will drive improvements in care\, achieve better outcomes for people\, and create meaningful change. Session topics include: \n\nAmbitious plans for the NHS and life sciences…are we ready?\nMaking care closer to home a reality now – could collaboration help unlock its potential?\nBeyond the horizon – understanding how digital innovation and technologies can shape tomorrow’s health and care\nPutting in place the infrastructure to support partnership working and collaboration across the NHS and life sciences\nEnsuring people and communities and the VCSE sector are at the heart of NHS and life sciences collaboration\nDo we have the right workforce for a health and care system fuelled by NHS and life sciences collaboration? What opportunities does collaboration present for the workforce?\nHow can developments in life sciences support the shift from sickness to prevention?\nCan we really afford the future? A look at what’s coming down the track in life sciences innovation and collaboration.\n\n  \nClick here to register for the event\nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact The King’s Fund events team at events@kingsfund.org.uk. \n  \nPlease use the discount code SEHTA_10 at checkout. Please note\, the code is valid until 1st September 2025 and only applies to SME/Commercial tickets.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON EVENT: Digital Formulation: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Medicines Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:          \n​Medicine formulation development and manufacturing before clinical trials is a major source of inefficiency and waste in the pharmaceutical pipeline. It often takes months or years to develop and scale up formulations\, with unpredictable product performance leading to stability or clinical bioavailability failures. ​Advances in digital molecular modeling\, AI/ML tools\, mechanistic pharmacokinetic modeling\, and advanced analytics now offer a unique chance to transform this process. By harnessing expertise across industry\, research\, and academia\, we can create an end-to-end digital formulation capability to design\, predict\, and maximize clinical success. \n​Be part of a one-day interactive workshop where you’ll: \n\n​Connect with leading scientists\, industry experts\, and decision-makers.\n​Explore the latest advancements in digital formulation.\n​Help build a UK consortium to drive innovation in sustainable medicine manufacturing!\n\n​Who should attend? \n​This event is aimed at professionals across the supply chain\, including Formulation scientists (innovator\, generic\, or specialty pharma)\, Process scientists and CDMOs/CROs\, Regulatory and QC/QA experts\, Digital modeling specialists (AI/ML/physical & atomistic)\, and Sustainability leaders and Net-Zero champions \n​Goals and objectives \n​To identify knowledge gaps in sustainable formulation development to drive new innovation\, explore cutting-edge solutions\, and forge a powerful consortium to lead the digital transformation of formulation and manufacturing. The goal is to move beyond legacy systems and traditional DOE models to a digitally led\, efficient\, and sustainable process for medicine formulation and manufacturing. \n​Interactive Workshops (Round table discussions) \n​To maximize your experience\, guests may select one of the following workshops to attend: \n​1. Unlocking Value in Pharmaceutical Formulation and Manufacturing Supply-Chain Through Sustainable Innovation \n​This workshop will explore how digital innovations can be integrated across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain. We’ll delve into interactive discussions around how pharmaceutical value can be generated while developing new sustainable processes to reduce waste\, optimize resource utilization\, and minimize environmental impact. \n​2. Innovation in Digital Formulation and Modelling Approaches to Drive Sustainability \n​Discover how digital tools and modeling techniques are revolutionizing formulation development. This workshop will focus on leveraging physics-based molecular modeling workflows and advances in AI/ML to design sustainable formulations\, predict performance\, and optimize manufacturing processes for minimal environmental footprint. \n​3. Advances in Analytics\, Measurements\, and Data to Achieve Sustainability Goals \n​This workshop will examine the crucial role of environmentally friendly analytical tools\, data/measurement advances\, and process analytics in driving sustainable practices in formulation development and manufacturing. \n​Collaborate to shape the future of digital formulation \n​Throughout the event\, dedicated collaboration zones will provide opportunities for networking and in-depth discussions. You can book partnering meetings with consortium members (MESOX\, National Physical Laboratory\, Aston University) to explore potential collaboration opportunities and bring your expertise to advance the digitization of pharmaceutical product development across the supply chain. \nTo read more information and register your place\, please click here.
