Bilateral Seminar on Innovation in Primary Care

Bilateral Seminar on Innovation in Primary Care

Prof. Michael Scott, presented about Northern Ireland’s Integrated Care system during this event on January 18th.

This seminar was another bilateral initiative developed by the British Embassy and the autonomous regions to share best practice and experiences between the UK and Spain. This time the spotlight was on Andalusia.

The event built on the success of other events that have focused on healthy ageing, hospitals of the future and innovation in healthcare, and aims to identify mutual business opportunities and strengthening our bilateral relationship. Professor Scott discussed the challenges they have faced and the measures they have adopted to provide Integrated Care in Northern Ireland.

Overall it was a successful event, with 80+ participants from across UK & Andalusia.  MOIC created good connections from across Europe.

MOIC alongside Pharmacy Management (www.pharman.co.uk ) hosted the first conference to view learning and further development of pharmacy best practice as a result of COVID-19.
