OHT London: Where does health start (and stop)?

The health system is no longer a system, it’s a patchwork.

 Retail pharmacies deliver cancer care. YouTube doctors reach more people than GPs. Apps prescribe medications. Carers keep entire populations alive, unpaid. Amazon delivers pills. The NHS contracts private hospitals. AI triages symptoms, wearables monitor us at home, platforms stitch together remote care. Prevention is a public message…but also a personal purchase.

The boundaries of “health” have never been more blurred. But as these lines fade—accelerated by technology—who gets care, who delivers it, and who benefits are urgent questions we must face head-on.

This event will unpick the meaty, messy, morally complex edges of the health system—where it’s expanding, fraying, and mutating. For the OHT community, it’s a chance to debate what role we all play in shaping that future so this amazing tidal wave of innovation truly works for all, with a particular focus on equity.
