Earlier this year ciChange, with Digital Jersey and Jersey Business ran an event #inov8healthjsy which included speakers from Samsung, and the former CEO of Barts Hospital London and BT Health Tech. The day which comprised a breakfast briefing, invitation lunch and evening debate was hugely popular and a great success.
This not only opened the debate about Health Tech and Innovation, but also re-sparked interest in e-Government and the opportunities for Jersey. Samsung’s promotion of its Partnership Programme heightened also local interest of Jersey being a centre for Health Tech.
Very shortly after #inov8healthjsy I attended TEDxStPeterPort, ahead of running TEDxStHelier at little later in the year. Included in the speakers at TEDxStPeterPort was James Maskell of Primary Healthcare, and here too there was great excitement about the future.
The videos from TEDxStPeterPort are be available here.

Finally, following TEDxStHelier I discussed with Andrew Green and Justin Donovan some of the ideas discussed and how they may be applied to Jersey. This included using the idea of BlockBuilders and virtual reality to get community involvement in the design of the new hospital. It included discussion on the future of education, based on the excellent talks of Sir Ken Robinson , Rory Steel, Paul Dunn and others.
We also had the privilege of having Joe Dickinson Social Innovator of the Year as one of our speakers and a man whose idea is sought after by many of the leading businesses including IBM and Samsung.
The videos from TEDxStHelier will be available from September
The confluence of these things have shaped the thinking for TEDx in 2016 and I have outlined our plans on the TEDxStHelier website. We are thinking about combining the health and education as the theme “tomorrow’s world”. We already have some ideas for sponsorship and speakers and aim to turn what started as #inov8healthjsy into something quite spectacular for 2016.

So with all this coming together nicely I am delighted to see that the IoD’s annual Jersey Debate will be on the future of our health and education. The debate includes many of those involvest in#inov8healthjsy, including Paul White, senior consultant and former CEO of BT Health London, Barts and the London NHS Trust
The Jersey IoD Annual Debate, which ordinarily attracts an audience of over 500 people, takes place on Thursday 17 September 2015 at the RJA&HS from 4.45pm – 9.45pm and is open to all islanders, including IoD members, non-members and politicians. Places cost £80 per person, including a supper, whilst a table of 12 can also be booked via the IoD Jersey Branch Officer on 610799 or jedirector@localdial.com. Further information is available at www.iod.je, the IoD Group on LinkedIn and by following @iodjersey on Twitter.
I look forward to attending.
For those inspired by the IoD Annual Debate, or interested in TED Talks and TEDx with particular emphasis on health and education as the theme “tomorrow’s world” please get in contact and be part of the shaping and planning for 2016.
