Last week the Innovation Alliance for the West Midlands (IAWM) were proud to support the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network (WMAHSN) at the first of this years Meridian LIVE events. With the highest percentage of NHS attendees to date, delegates had the opportunity to get actively involved in interactive sessions involving Mr Potato Head, blue sky thinking and Quality Improvement Techniques.
Iain Mansell, Project Manager and Innovative Health Working Group coordinator for IAWM said:
“I ran one of the surgery sessions and had the opportunity to speak to many of the organisations in attendance. It was great to see so much enthusiasm and I’m glad to have helped direct delegates to opportunities in the region that can help their businesses thrive. Well done to the WMAHSN team for putting together such a great event”.
The event saw industry, academia and health and social care organisations come together to hear about some of the fantastic innovative opportunities going on within the region. Each attendee now has the key contacts and information required to go back and drive the scale and adoption of best practice within their own areas.
