Real Deals in Focus - Healthcare
6-9pm, 30th November - The Commonwealth Club, London
As the coalition government gets to grips with its austerity measures, this event will explore the opportunities that a health service under strain presents for private sector opportunities.
The agenda, led by a keynote speech from a sector heavyweight and followed by an onstage panel of big name specialist private equity investors and CEOs, will explore the implications of government austerity measures on the short-term future of the sector, and what broader policy decisions will mean for its long-term prospects.
There will then be an opportunity for highly focused networking with your peers operating in the Healthcare sector.
