The Topol Review 2 years on: Roundtable discussions

In February 2019 Health Education England published the Topol Review. Dr Eric Topol brought together a remarkable cross-disciplinary team of experts, including clinicians, educators, engineers, ethicists, and economists alongside leaders in digital healthcare development.

We have gathered some of the original authors who played a key role in delivering this ground-breaking report to discuss progress on the findings two years on.

Watch the sessions below, the first between some of the Topol Review Board members and the second with members of the project team and Clinical Fellows who worked on the review. The films are also available on YouTube.
