Technology plays an increasingly important role in our health and care system. This shift towards technology can, and should, be positive; technology can drive change, facilitating better outcomes and experiences for people and communities. Yet technology still presents challenges for patients and staff, such as having multiple apps with siloed records, variation in adoption and use, a lack of digital options, and insufficient accessibility features.
With the government outlining its ambition to shift from analogue to digital, and with exciting developments in technologies (such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and miniaturisation of diagnostics), the use of data and digital technology in our health care system is only going to grow. But how can we make this ‘tilt towards technology’, in a way that is inclusive, engages people and communities and builds public confidence in, and support of, digital solutions?
This conference will provide an opportunity to consider what is needed to achieve the 10-year vision for a digitally enabled and transformed NHS where all areas of the health system in each part of the country is digitally mature, able to share data, and using technology to improve patient outcomes. We’ll explore how you can support and develop the skills and confidence of the health and care workforce, build leadership capabilities to deliver change, put people and communities at the heart of digital transformation, share best practice and innovation, reduce national variation, and plan and building capabilities for embedding future innovation.
What will you discover?
Please join us as we collaborate with experts and leaders from across the health and care system through interactive workshops, panel debates and keynote talks. We will explore the potential of digital transformation and how we can make change happen now in a way that works for those who work in and rely on health and care services and supports the need for transformational shifts in how health and care services are planned, delivered and accessed.
Sessions include:
understanding the national and local priorities for digital transformation and innovation, and what they mean for those who work in and rely on health and care services
putting people and communities at the heart of digital transformation
making the most of the potential of digital technology and virtual wards to move care closer to home
making change happen in a highly constrained environment
exploring what developments in AI mean for health and care
case studies of how digital innovation and technology are changing the game in NHS and social care
understanding the innovations and technologies shaping tomorrow’s health and care through the lens of women’s health
what developments in technology mean for the workforce
analogue to digital – moving from vision to reality.
