Mr Steven Tsui
UK's first total artificial heart transplant 

Consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Steven Tsui will be speaking about the operation he led on Matthew Green, the first person in the UK to receive a total artificial heart transplant. Mr Tsui led his team through training in Paris before undertaking the ground breaking surgery.
 	 
Mr Mark Koska
Inventor of the auto-disable syringe

Mr Koska has recently persuaded the Tanzanian government to become the first country in the world to move exclusively to using syringes that self-destruct after a single use, thus preventing the transmission of HIV/Aids by multiple-use of the same syringe. The World Health Organisation estimates over 1.3 million die every year as a result of the reuse of syringes.

Seven more speakers have been lined up to talk about extraordinary innovations and will be announced in the New Year.
