Scotch Business Directory Event - Healthcare: Business and Practice

The Old Scotch Collegians, alongside Scotch Parents, invite alumni, past and current parents, and friends of the Scotch Community to join us for an evening of insightful discussion, networking and socialising!

Healthcare is a business. Like any other business, the healthcare industry stands to benefit from practices that drive innovation and growth. As a result of advancing technologies, increasing customer expectations and an ageing population, the future of healthcare in Australia is changing dramatically. In this period of change, healthcare leaders can help meet the dynamic needs of this system and shape a promising future of healthcare.

Hear from our expert panel of speakers as they discuss the challenges facing the health services industry, key healthcare sectors of the future, and how we can lead the future of healthcare during this period of change, growth and innovation in Australian healthcare.
