Date: 25 February 2027 | Time: Evening
Location: Central London venue
- Guest speakers
Healthcare in our modern world is increasingly shaped by political choices, market pressures and the powerful influence of digital culture.
From the rise of health tourism, weight‑loss drugs and beauty trends to the growing health discourse of social media ‘influencers’.
Join a panel of Newcastle graduates (to be announced) to unpack what these shifts reveal about widening inequalities, NHS and dentistry workforce pressures, and the blurring boundaries between clinical care, consumerism and online identity.
