The long-term sustainability of health and social care is dependent on having strong digital foundations for digital transformation.

Digital technologies have transformed how health and care services are offered, accessed and used. As digital health and care services evolve, improve and become more widespread, they provide further opportunities to improve people’s health and experiences of services.

The NHS Long-Term Plan outlines an ambitious vision for patient care in the coming decade. A key pillar in overcoming the challenges facing the NHS lies in harnessing the power of data and digital technology. This, combined with a commitment to innovation, will drive success.

Join the Institute of Government & Public Policy and your fellow northern colleagues to learn about the latest technologies and innovative initiatives accelerating the digitisation of the health and care sector.

The event will explore examples of advancing digital transformation in healthcare, empowering the workforce and patients, enhancing data integration, promoting innovation, and ensuring robust infrastructure to support a patient-centric, data-driven NHS.
