Watch 2019


For TEDxNHS 2019 we went ‘Beyond our Component Parts’. and introduced our brand-new TEDxNHS chapter celebrating the very heart of the NHS: Our people.

Our brilliant speakers brought us together to go further than our thoughts, energise our progressive steps and positively shape our health system.

2019 Launch:

Ahead of TEDxNHS 2019, we held our first ever launch party to introduce our new speakers. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring together the TEDxNHS family and to welcome our 2019 speakers into the world of TEDxNHS – providing them with a snapshot of what to expect at the main event through a selection of talks highlighting the growth and ambition of our social movement.

Our long-term supporters, DrDoctor, sponsored and hosted this launch event, and Founder Tom Whicher, presented a special, one-off talk which beautifully resonated with our 2019 theme, ‘Beyond our Component Parts’.
