Our first meeting held in September 2021 considered how we can best exploit the commercial, scientific and health opportunities in diagnostics driven by the new knowledge, investment and innovation demonstrated by the UK diagnostics sector in response to Covid 19. This follow-on conference will consider the regional opportunities afforded by these developments and consider how we can best leverage our cross-sector strengths to build a world-leading diagnostics enterprise in the West Midlands.

As before, this event will bring together key stakeholders from across the NHS, academia, industry and regulatory bodies to explore how we can enhance cross-sector collaboration to turbo-charge local growth by building the infrastructure necessary for the development and implementation of innovative diagnostics. With a focus on our distinctive expertise in diagnostics, data and devices, we will consider how best to exploit these assets to create a sustainable and internationally-recognised activity in the West Midlands.
