Sectra UK User Meeting 2026 Presenters

Day 1 

14:30 – 15:00

RIS — Where We Are, Where We’re Going: Philip Holst, Global Product Manager – RIS

A 30‑minute interactive session on Sectra RIS — what’s new, what’s coming, and what matters most to you. We’ll cover recent platform developments, share a focused roadmap preview, and open the floor for direct feedback. Whether you’re running Sectra RIS today or exploring it alongside PACS, this is designed to be a conversation, not a lecture.

 15:00 – 15:30

Cardiology Imaging: Björn Limber, Global Product Manager – Cardiology

This session will provide a demonstration of the current Sectra cardiology portfolio, including the Sectra Echo Viewer (version 28.1), its current capabilities, and feedback from live customers. We will also discuss the future of Sectra Cardiology, including full ultrasound workflow, ECG capabilities, and the role of AI in echocardiography.

14:30 – 15:00

Your Multimodal Research Platform in the Age of Precision Medicine – Sectra PACS for Research: Dr John Heerfordt, Product Lead for Sectra One Research & Research Scientist

Turning clinical imaging data into research findings is harder than it should be. Identifying the right cohorts, navigating privacy requirements, and running structured studies all create friction that slows research down. Sectra PACS for Research is a cloud‑delivered, fully managed platform designed to remove these barriers across radiology, pathology, and beyond. In this session, we’ll walk through real‑world workflows, including identifying cohorts for retrospective research, applying anonymisation or pseudonymisation, and running reader studies — all within a clinically familiar environment.

 15:00 – 15:30

NIR Discussion Forum: Chris Scarisbrick, Customer Operations Director & Deputy Managing Director

We’re delighted to let you know that our evening entertainment at the Sectra UK User Meeting includes the opportunity to attend the Ne‑Yo and Akon concert 🎶✨

Nights Like This Tour 2026.

Co-op Live welcomes Grammy award-winning NE-YO and multi-platinum recording artist AKON to Co-op Live as they announce they’re co-headlining the Nights Like This tour.

The tour brings together two generational artists whose catalogs have defined radio, nightlife, and pop culture. Between Ne-Yo’s soulful R&B bangers and Akon’s global dance-floor anthems, this is the ultimate celebration of two decades of hits.

And if live music isn’t quite your cup of tea, that’s absolutely fine too. You’re more than welcome to relax and catch up with colleagues in the Backstage Club, where you can enjoy the evening at your own pace.
