Update to programme and extra workshop added

Due to the popularity of this event we have been able to add a few more places to the Forum, so if you haven't registered yet, there is still time!

 We are now able to add a fourth workshop: Julie Hart from the Oxford Academic Health Science Network will be facilitating a workshop on accelerating innovation and technology adoption within the NHS.

Once the maximum capacities for the first three workshops have been reached, they will no longer be available to choose on the online shop.

The title of the second workshop has changed; it is now 'Innovate UK's Evidence Map' and will be panel discussion chaired by Penny Wilson of Innovate UK.

If you have any questions regarding the workshops please email dec@phc.ox.ac.uk
