By harnessing the power of technology and creating an environment to enable innovation, we can manage the growing demand for services and create the secure and sustainable future for the NHS and social care system that we all want to see. Across the two days, delegates will learn how to:

• Examine the current challenges facing the healthcare system in realising the policy ambition of a digital first NHS, and some of the solutions to overcome them.
• Identify the key steps to accelerating digital transformation, what the main characteristics for successful digital programmes are, and what digital healthcare of the future may look like.
• Create a robust health IT infrastructure through effective data storage, security and integration and network connectivity.
• Establish robust governance by establishing a framework, including a code of conduct and guidance, clarifying the approach to data ownership, security, patient consent and patient education, so that patients know who is accessing their data, when and why.
• Develop digital leadership and skills in order to get the best out of new technology and improve efficiency, safety and release staff time to care.
• Provide better care and improved health outcomes for people in the UK.
• Transform the NHS to improve patient outcomes and patient experience, and to make the lives of NHS staff easier.
