Jeremy Hughes, Alzheimer's Society Chief Executive will be giving a keynote address at The King's Fund conference tomorrow, Wednesday 23 November.

Jeremy Hughes will be talking about innovations in dementia care at 4.20pm tomorrow, Wednesday 23 November and the event will be live-streamed via www.kingsfund.tv

The King's Fund Annual Conference 2011 will look beyond current debate about structures and reforms to focus on how to improve the everyday business of delivering health and social care. Sessions will debate how to build a health and social care system for the future that delivers services which are safe, high quality, properly regulated, value-for-money and meet the expectations of patients. 

This conference which is now sold out will provide delegates with a better understanding of how the system will be operating in 2013 and beyond and present strategies that consider the future context and supply practical ideas of innovations in service-delivery that can be implemented in organisations and communities across the UK.

The conference is being live streamed via www.kingsfund.tv from 10am.

  • Rt Hon Professor Lord Ara Darzi KBE, former Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health and Paul Hamlyn Chair of Surgery, Imperial College London
