‘Reform is not just possible, it’s happening.’ – Wes Streeting.
On September 25th 2024, Wes Streeting MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care made a speech at Labour Party Conference 2024.
During his speech, Streeting shared poignant experiences from people across the UK, illustrating what is happening right now within our NHS. He said ‘The NHS is broken but not beaten, and together we will turn it around.’
Mentioning the work we’re doing here at Skin Analytics with the NHS, Streeting went on to say, ‘Reform is not just possible, it is happening. From AI detecting skin cancer and cutting waiting times to weight loss jabs slashing the risk of heart attacks for diabetes patients.’
Following the speech, our CEO, Neil Daly shared his gratitude for Streeting’s words:
‘There were 441,000 patients waiting to see a dermatologist by the end of July and the waiting list is getting longer. So it was refreshing to hear Wes Streeting mention the work we are doing with NHS England earlier today in his speech.’
‘Skin Analytics technology could free up more than 200,000 dermatologist appointments each year. Freeing up clinical time to spend seeing those patient who are struggling to get seen.’
‘Lord Darzi, AI revolution is not just possible, it is happening.’
