Technology used to improve the care of Airedale Hospital patients will be showcased at a major national conference.

The hospital’s chief executive, Bridget Fletcher, and endocrinology consultant Dr Richard Pope will be running two seminars at the Health and Care Innovation Expo, hosted by NHS England.

Around 10,000 people are expected to attend the event, in Manchester on March 3 and 4.

Mrs Fletcher said: “We are looking forward to this exciting event, which gives us the chance to share our learning with interested delegates from throughout the whole country.

“We also hope to learn from others who have brought about innovative changes to how they deliver healthcare for the benefit of their local communities.”

Throughout the conference, there will also be demonstrations of Airedale Hospital’s innovative telemedicine work.
