The program will cover a wide range of topics that will update and inform you and give new insights into the business of Health Insurance.

A highlight will be Tim Baker, the head of the well-known and world leading United Kingdom transparency engine, “Dr Foster”.  Dr Foster has for many years allowed health consumers to assess the quality and safety of their providers through transparent and open methods.
