The University of Plymouth's "Centre for Health Technology" along with SW AHSN will be hosting the launch event for the South West Interdisciplinary Technology Consortium for Health and care (SWITCH) Ecosystem on Monday 8th of July 2019.
Building on the University's Digital health and technology research, innovation and implementation work over the past 10 years with a range of stakeholders, the SWITCH ecosystem will be an interdisciplinary cross-sector consortium, including NHS partners, industry partners, health and social care organisations and patient groups, set-up to enable greater connection and collaboration across the South West region and beyond.
