London networking events for doctors in tech.
Why we’re doing this
We want to help doctors already working in health tech to connect, learn from and support each other.
There is a real gap in existing medical networks for established health care professionals working in technology. In traditional healthcare settings, we work alongside many clinically-trained colleagues to discuss difficult decisions and to solve problems. Although we sometimes work with doctors in our respective companies, we feel siloed across industry. We aim to break down these barriers.
Every time we attend a health tech event or conference, one of the highlights is meeting other doctors and healthcare professionals who work in the field. We hear many of the same issues across a variety of companies – be it a brand new start up or a large, established company. Conundrums such as:
- How can the clinical team work most effectively with the product team?
How can we maintain clinical practice alongside health tech work?
- How to approach ethical dilemmas within health tech, sometimes as the lone clinician voice?
- Coming together to discuss these challenging topics will spark new ideas, new solutions and innovation.
It will provide a safe space with a group who understand the importance (& loneliness) of being the clinical voice.

Dr. Adel Baluch
Working as the director of medical affairs for Ada Health, and also as a practicing primary care doctor, Adel is a big believer in the ability of technology to scalably improve both the health outcomes of patients, and the experiences of clinicians. He also believes in its potential to deliver better outcomes through empowerment and democratization of knowledge for individuals. He was keen to team up with Jenny to help bring like minded clinicians together in order to learn and support each other and share best practice.
