There’s a wealth of information between our opening blog from Des Holden, our Medical Director, on KSS AHSN’s approach to innovation, and closing article on the SEHTA 2020 International MedTech Expo & Conference

From supporting the international spread and adoption of health-tech to new appointments in Surrey, a round up of World Patient Safety Day activities and a blog on social enterprise in the NHS, we've got it all covered in this edition

Published on the last day of NHS Expo 2019, this issue is packed full with the latest news from Manchester, plus details of a new £1.6m funding win much closer to home.

This issue came out on the hottest day of 2019, so far. Now things have cooled down a bit, take the time to catch up on a great range of articles covering everything from Outstanding CQC ratings in Kent to a blog on Industry trends.

We're thrilled to be able to bring you the news that £9m of government funding has been approved for the new Kent, Surrey and Sussex Applied Research Collaboration​. There's plenty of others new too - check it out!

The latest edition of our newsletter brings a range of news from across the region, including: details on our conference activities and Tech Navigation service; a blog or two; short films on our work with industry, and loads more!

Last call for the last few seats at the KSS Partnership Day 2019, read about our teams' success at the Patient Safety Congress, find out about the AHSN Network’s presence at Confed 19 and check out some funding opportunities.

We’re stuffed full with news on awards, pilot sites, events, surveys, guides, toolkits, industry insights and publications. In short, everything you’ve ever wanted, or needed, to know about. Possibly.
