The Digital Health Developer Conference is a new educational event for developers working across all parts of health and care, or wanting to work in the area.  By attending the Developer Conference you will gain a practical understanding and implementation of new health technologies, real-world NHS service integration, and overcoming the tricky corners of health IT.
