TITCH Innovation Workshop - Manchester

Are there issues and challenges within your practice that you would like to solve? TITCH (Technology and Innovation Transforming Child Health) invites you to an afternoon workshop in Manchester on Wednesday 2nd March at the City Labs building on Nelson Street. Join us from 12:30 for lunch.

TITCH is a national healthcare technology network that is dedicated to the development of technology solutions to help improve children's healthcare. This is achieved by focusing on the identification of areas of unmet need where new technology could have an impact for child health.

• Work with children, parents, clinicians, industry and academics to help identify unmet need

• Facilitate the evaluation of a device or technology through the expert network

• Offer the opportunity for network collaboration in the development of new technologies

• Facilitate the identification of early adopter sites which may have an interest in a specific new technology

• For more information on TITCH please visit our website at www.titch.org.uk or follow us on Twitter @titchinnovate

Our first TITCH workshop in Sheffield identified almost a hundred unmet needs which has begun to highlight significant areas for improvement within:

• Enabling improved medical interventions through technology

• Improved technology to aid with diagnostics

• Enablement of better child friendly education around health awareness

• Improved technology to help with self management of a condition

• Holistic assessments of a child’s needs

Come along to the workshop and help us explore these needs further or suggest ways we could begin to think about providing solutions to them. This list is not exclusive so please feel free to share a need you have identified.

• When you register for the workshop you will be invited to submit an unmet need in child health that you have identified

• There will be the opportunity to form collaborations to access funding from Greater Manchester Academic Health Science Network and Central Manchester NHS Foundation Trust

• This event will be supported by Know Innovation who have a track record in facilitating innovative, ground breaking workshops.

We are expecting the event to be heavily oversubscribed, so register early to ensure you do not miss out. If you have any questions about the event please contact IN@GMAHSn.org
