TEDxNHS Unlocked is a new series of virtual experiences hosted online by the TEDxNHS team. These events aim to bring people together in an intimate, safe space to watch a TEDxNHS talk, to share reflections and ideas in conversation with the TEDxNHS community, and to leave refreshed, energised and with a sense of purpose.

TEDxNHS is run entirely by volunteers working within the UK’s health and care space, who freely give their time to help organise these fantastic events. We are able to fund TEDxNHS through the incredible generosity of our strategic partners and sponsors, without whom it would simply not be possible. To ensure that we can cover the cost of running the live events, we have previously charged for tickets. Whilst it is significantly less to run the TEDxNHS Unlocked virtual events, there are still production costs involved.

To ensure that we can run TEDxNHS Unlocked for the benefit of our community, we are asking audience members to contribute where they feel they can. Our tiered approach for purchasing tickets means that people can contribute £5, £10 or £15 towards the cost of producing these virtual experiences. There is also an option to purchase a ticket at zero cost, which we hope will enable those struggling financially at this time to join and enjoy these events. Any surplus monies contributed will go towards funding future series’ of TEDxNHS Unlocked.
