Private Acute Healthcare & Cover Conference

LaingBuisson’s annual Private Acute Healthcare & Health Cover Conference returns to London, bringing together senior leaders and decision-makers from across the independent healthcare and health cover sectors for a day of insight, debate and networking, underpinned by the latest market data.

As the sector navigates another year of change, the conference will examine the forces shaping the market. Private medical insurance has been a key driver of growth in recent years, but are there signs of a slowdown in insured volumes and a renewed rise in self-pay demand? Is the new NHS financial year translating into increased activity for independent providers following a subdued end to the last one, and what difference might the new PM make?

CEOs from some of the UK’s leading independent hospital operators will discuss how they are responding to changing payor mix, evolving patient demand and the wider economic and policy environment. Delegates will also benefit from data-led presentations featuring the latest market intelligence from LaingBuisson, the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) and Healthcode.

Beyond market analysis, sessions will also explore the growing competition for London’s private healthcare market, the challenge of keeping health cover affordable amid rising costs, the independent sector’s role in supporting the government’s ambition to Get Britain Working again, and the growth of clinician-owned clinics.
