Combined Healthcare launches Combined Minds and Combined Touchscreen Training (CTT)

Combined Minds visual with the text 'combined minds' and different coloured smoke around the letters.

Combined Healthcare is proud to launch two new innovations.

Combined Minds is the Trust’s very own version of TED talks – giving a platform to our clinicians and teams to showcase their ideas, insights, knowledge and projects.

Combined Touchscreen Training (CTT) is a new facility allowing the Trust to deliver interactive touchscreen training and education within immersive environments delivered in our Lawton House headquarters.

In this launch edition of Combined Minds, Joe McCrea (Associate Director of Communications) and Dr Becky Chubb (Deputy Clinical Director) introduce and demonstrate both new innovations – setting them in the context of the Trust’s wider track record of innovation in digital and virtual reality communications and engagement – including Combined’s digital TV station (CTV) available onsite, online and on demand and Combined Virtual Reality (CVR)

Applications are now open for anyone in the Trust to submit an idea for a Combined Minds talk. Click here to find out more and make an application.
