Procurement is changing across the UK, and it’s no different in Scotland, where technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and Big Data continue to transform the way public procurement is conducted, as well as the skills required by procurement staff.
As NHSScotland also moves towards digitisation, collaboration will be essential to foster innovation and develop new solutions to creating a seamless technology platform to support efficiencies, cost savings, supply chain resilience and sustainability within the healthcare sector in Scotland.
Whats on?
Open for buyers and suppliers, the Procurement Technologies & Digitisation Zone at P4H Scotland will host sessions delivered by expert speakers on the benefits, impacts and challenges of AI and other technologies in procurement activity, and how innovation and data can help organisations deliver higher quality healthcare for the people of Scotland.
