HLTH Europe 2025 Interview: Henry Stoneley

Q1 HLTH Europe 2025's theme was 'growth in all its forms' .What inspired this theme?The theme for HLTH Europe 2025 was intentionally chosen.Growth can be exhilarating; it can feel like momentum, acceleration, or finally breaking through.However, growth isn't always comfortable; it can be messy, uncertain, or even painful for individuals, organisations, and entire systems.We didn't just want to celebrate success; we wanted to acknowledge the full picture of what it takes to move forward.No one in healthcare is asking for slow, incremental change.Patients can't wait.Systems can't stall.This community came to HLTH to challenge the status quo, and that demands bold, sometimes conflicting, and often uncomfortable ideas.Growth needs that kind of energy.
