Why you as a dentistry group should join us...

Dentistry across EMEA is changing fast. Nationally and internationally, there has been massive consolidation. That has gone hand-in-hand with new business models offering access to more services in new easy-access locations, often from 8 am to 8 pm.

Healthcare Business International, now in its thirteenth year, is the only CEO event to give you the market overview you need to steer your dentistry business forwards.  Every year CEOs and CXO teams from dentistry, outpatient, hospitals and care groups join us from across the world. They come for six reasons:

Oldřich Šubrt, Founder, Program Health Plus
What struck me was the availability of some of the brightest minds in health care. I get to meet a lot of people in a very fluid way which I could not do anywhere else.

Ronnie Van der Merwe, CEO, Mediclinic
It's one place where you meet everyone: providers, insurers, digital health services - everyone. There are a lot of conversations about future models of health care such as subscription models. We know what we have done well but where are we going in the future?

Building the best model for digital


Finding the business model that best leverages digital and technology is tough. Health care is littered with failed attempts at innovation and transformation.

What does success look like for providers large or small and how is it achieved?

Sourabh Pagaria, EMEA Lead Digitally-enabled Service, EVP & Managing Director Southern Europe, Siemens Healthineers

Managing your costs in challenging times


Rising costs from inflation, wages, and energy are indiscriminately hitting the healthcare sector and despite government support packages being pledged, the road ahead looks arduous. So how do providers control costs? This session explores strategies to keep costs at bay from strategic procurement to efficiency gains and getting more out of your existing technology.

Few people are better placed than Joe to deal with challenging operating environments. In his 27 years at Medicover he has seen it all from credit crisis to political instability and war.

The Shape of Things to Come


The health care sector is set to change dramatically over the next five years. Our panellists look at how and at what this means for anyone running a scale business in the sector.

We start with a presentation from Chinta Bhagat, partner at L Catterton which looks at the elision of wellness and health care services, the rise of the omnichannel, the move to outpatient and personalised medicine. He was previously head of global healthcare at Khazanah Nasional Berhad, where he was closely involved with IHH, the largest emerging markets private hospital group. He also spent 14 years at McKinsey & Company where he was a leader in the principal investor and healthcare practices and worked extensively with private equity and sovereign wealth funds to drive their healthcare investing agenda.
