Welcome back to The Only Way is Ethics and to another thought-provoking discussion as part of our Women in HealthTech series. Throughout this month, we’ve been shining a light on the incredible women driving change in digital health.

Claire is leading innovation in digital health, demonstrating how women can take the helm in HealthTech entrepreneurship and leadership.What We’ll Be Discussing:Women in HealthTech bring a wealth of clinical expertise, leadership skills, and innovative thinking—yet many of us have faced bias, dismissive attitudes, and a lack of recognition for our transferable skills. From being underestimated in technical conversations to hearing phrases like “You’re just a nurse” or “But do you really understand the tech?”—these experiences are all too common.So, how do we challenge these perceptions and advocate for our expertise? Our panellists will share their experiences and strategies for tackling bias, asserting their place in HealthTech, and turning challenges into opportunities.But it’s not just about the barriers—we also want to highlight the huge career potential that digital roles offer women. HealthTech isn’t just for software engineers; clinicians, AHPs, and digital leaders play a vital role in shaping safe and effective healthcare technology. We’ll explore:• Career progression for women in HealthTech and how digital roles create leadership opportunities.• Building confidence in digital spaces—and overcoming imposter syndrome, which many women experience when stepping into tech-driven roles.• Encouraging the next generation—how we can inspire more young women to see HealthTech as an exciting and accessible career path.This conversation is about more than just identifying the challenges—we’re here to talk about solutions, progress, and the future for women in HealthTech.
