The afternoon features two distinguished keynote speakers who will share their expertise in healthcare modeling. Dr Elizabeth Williams, PhD will open the session by sharing her firsthand experience applying optimization methods within NHS Wales. Later, Dr Edilson Arruda who is an Associate Professor at the University of Southampton will close our formal sessions by shifting the lens to a patient-centric approach, exploring how pathway insights can transform our ability to forecast hospital bed occupancy.

Beyond the keynotes, this event is designed for active participation. In our Round-Table Session, attendees are offered the chance to discuss real-world optimization scenarios in small groups. Whether you are new to the field of Operational Research or not, this is a fantastic opportunity to sharpen your skills, share system insights, and network with the wider OR community.

We look forward to seeing you there for an afternoon of learning, followed by informal networking and drinks.
