Event Summary

The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan aims to modernise the NHS by moving from analogue to fully digital services. Exciting new technologies – including AI, remote monitoring, the Single Patient Record, and NHS Online (the online hospital) – mark a significant shift in the way healthcare will be delivered across England. The vision is for a digitally mature health and social care system, where data is shared to improve efficiency, patient experiences, and health outcomes.

Join Westminster Insight’s Digital Health and Care Conference to hear the latest updates on key policies, technologies, and funding shaping the future of digital health and social care.

Learn how to build a clear vision and practical strategy for transformation, assess whether your systems can meet future interoperability standards, and prepare for forthcoming legislation.

Our expert speakers will explore NHS plans to deliver a Single Patient Record – the vision, progress to date, and expected timelines toward patient access from 2028. Currently in the Test and Learn Phase, we will explore what a Single Patient Record could mean in practice, balancing integration with data protection, consent management, and GDPR compliance.

Gain the latest updates on the NHS App, and the improvements (appointment flows, prescriptions, messaging, records visualisation) that are being rolled out or piloted. Find out how your organisation can prepare for these changes and develop a future-proof digital strategy.

We will explore the Government’s roadmap for its “online hospital” service via the NHS App, including timelines and strategic goals. Learn how this digital strategy supports the shift to a unified Single Patient Record model.  Take away expert guidance to help you ensure your digital systems (appointments, referrals, patient portals, data sharing) are aligned and ready for integration.

Gain valuable insight into the funding landscape for digital innovation, from national and regional programmes to research and development funds. Discover how partnerships with technology suppliers and universities can strengthen your funding bids.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI)  becomes central to healthcare innovation, we will share examples of innovative AI use in health and social care settings, while addressing legal, ethical, and regulatory challenges.

With the new Data (Use and Access) Act introducing information standards to improve interoperability across NHS trusts, GP practices, ambulance services, and social care, gain practical guidance on how to prepare systems and compliance.

Attend this timely event to meet sector leaders, policymakers, and digital innovators. Share best practice and exchange ideas. Take the next steps towards seamless data-sharing, and a fully digital patient experience.
