How do we signpost services better, stratify patients based on risk more intelligently and redirect precisely to the most appropriate care setting (and not just send everyone to the Emergency Department)?

How can we improve public health, screening programmes and diagnostics, particularly at the point of care rather than at a laboratory (considering early diagnosis and intervention improves outcomes and saves lives, effort and money all round)?

How do we offer on-demand support to citizens remotely with a sense of compassion and community while appreciating there is often stigma attached to accepting these services and that people drop out regularly?

How do we share and make better use of the health data we have, both structured and unstructured, to make more intelligent and timely decisions?

How can we augment our people e.g. automate routine tasks, support clinical teams to carry out their roles more efficiently, support non-clinical and less qualified staff to take on more of the burden of healthcare provision and generally stretch our qualified teams to do more while avoiding burnout?

How do we improve system and backend efficiency e.g. bottleneck analysis, patient flow, clinic rostering, user friendly systems?

How do we improve communication whether to patients, between staff themselves so they can collaborate or for organisations to engage workforces genuinely (e.g. improve their wellbeing and gain new ideas on quality improvement and safety)?

How do we meet our greatest challenges head-on e.g. healthy ageing and AI?

How can we take advantage of major opportunities in healthcare, for example in genomics for precision medicine, quantum computing, AR/VR, 3D printing or wearables?

How to keep patients out of hospital and encourage self-care, especially for those with existing conditions?
