Imagining the Future of Medicine

As part of its mission to promote access to the arts and sciences, the Royal Albert Hall is delighted to announce a historic event on Monday 21 April 2014, celebrating the future of medicine and healthcare, and hosted by Irish comedian and presenter Dara Ó Briain with special guest and TEDMED curator Jay Walker.

Following the sold-out success of TEDxAlbertopolis held at the Hall in September, which trended at number 1 on Twitter in the UK and was streamed internationally with viewers as far afield as Canada, Chile and China, Imagining the Future of Medicine will feature inspiring short talks and stunning artistic performances that celebrate the power of unexpected connections to create exciting possibilities.
Imagining the Future of Medicine will curate a spectacular and provocative programme of talks from the world’s experts on the world’s most famous stage, and encompass themes such as: Medicine Without Borders, looking into global medical innovation; Thinking Outside the Box, investigating emerging perspectives in modern medicine; and Translating the Untranslatable, visiting medical concepts not fully understood.
