11:45 – 13:00

Professor Sir Gregor Smith, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) will take to the stage to launch this year’s Chief Medical Officer - Annual Report.

The focus of this year’s Annual Report will be on the health of our population, the route to accessing healthcare, reflections on our key priorities as we emerge from the pandemic and ambitions for the future.

Delegates attending the session will hear how recovery from the pandemic presents an opportunity to create an equal and fair system for all by showcasing the projects currently improving lives around Scotland.

In this session, delegates will have the opportunity to be the first to hear what the CMO has to say, and participate in a panel Q&A with senior contributors from across our health and care system.
