10 Digital Ladies partnered with specialist health communications agency ZPB Associates to run a 10 Digital Ladies in Healthtech event held June 30th. 

The event specifically looked at how private sector SMEs / start-ups are working with public sector bodies such as the NHS to transform how we manage our health, and access services such as GPs and our personal records.

Julie Bretland, founder of Our Mobile Health, who also helped to set up Digital Health.London; an organisation aiming to help SMEs to more effectively work with the NHS, talked prior to and at the event about some of the major challenges facing SMEs to crack the NHS market and what progress is being made to improve the situation to speed digital innovation.
