Translation in Healthcare – Exploring the Impact of Emerging Technologies

There are only four weeks to go until the conference, Translation in Healthcare: exploring the impact of emerging technologies.

This conference will explore how new technologies are transforming and reconfiguring the boundaries between patients, research participants and consumers; between research and clinical practice and between public and private domains.

It brings together a wide range of experts who will discuss and evaluate the impact of technological, legal, ethical and social challenges raised by new healthcare technologies.

Our aim is to provide a stimulating environment for local discussions and interactions with leading thinkers in the field. Our Activity Zone features ECOUTER – an online engagement event; ELSI 2.0 Helpdesk,  Talking Wall, selfies and Haiku/Limerick competitions and Walk and Talk.
