Chair Opening Address (Confirmed)

This interactive workshop explores the real-world impact and strategic value of Shared Care Records (ShCR) in delivering joined-up, patient-centred care across NHS systems. With insights from Lee Rickles, a national leader in health and care interoperability, the session will delve into how Yorkshire & Humber is leveraging shared records to improve clinical decision-making, reduce duplication, and enhance population health outcomes.

The NHS faces a complex web of digital challenges, from legacy systems to emerging standards. This panel brings together key voices from healthcare, policy, and technology to discuss how interoperability can be accelerated, the barriers still in place, and what must happen next.

With perspectives on regulatory, financial, and operational challenges, the discussion will explore practical solutions to ensure a seamless and connected digital NHS.

Case Study - T-Pro

Join us for an insightful session on tackling the growing challenge of clinical documentation within the NHS. Excessive administrative workload remains a significant pressure on healthcare professionals, contributing to clinician burnout and reducing valuable patient-facing time. In this session, we’ll explore how T-Pro’s NHS-compatible speech recognition and ambient AI scribe technology can streamline documentation workflows - reducing administrative burden, enhancing accuracy, and freeing up clinicians to focus on delivering safe, high-quality patient care. Learn how these innovative solutions are being implemented across NHS trusts and hear real-world experiences on their impact on efficiency, clinician well-being, and patient outcomes.

NHS Trusts are under pressure to deliver more with less, and traditional ROI metrics often fail to capture the full value of digital innovation. In this session, Jane Stephenson, CEO of SPARK TSL, will share how Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has embraced SPARK Fusion® to transform patient experience, staff well-being, and operational efficiency. Drawing on frontline staff insights and new data, Jane will demonstrate how value models provide a more complete framework for measuring impact - and how Trusts can use it to accelerate digital maturity.

As the 10 Year Health Plan sets the NHS a clear target to deliver a 2% year-on-year productivity gain, the case for automation has never been stronger.

Digital productivity tools such as automation are streamlining administrative tasks, improving resource allocation, reducing waiting times and freeing up staff to focus on delivering high quality care, while resolving interoperability challenges.

Understanding early failures has led to invaluable learning about how to make this scalable and sustainable in an ever complex and volatile health and care system.

Case Study - Pexip

In this upcoming fireside chat, we’ll explore why interoperability challenges in health and social care go beyond technology and why using checkboxes to assess Suppliers will not solve it. However, there are small steps we can take today to make things easier. Expect a candid discussion on policy, procurement, real-life obstacles and practical solutions:

• Interoperability is a social problem, not a technical one.
• Interoperability must be seen as infrastructure not just APIs.
• Mandating standards alone won’t solve it.
• ​There are ways we can improve procurement of solutions and their interoperability capabilities across the NHS and Social Care and get clinical benefit.

Bringing together a clinician and a non-clinician, this engaging role-play session will stage a theoretical argument over a key interoperability challenge. How do different perspectives influence decision-making? What are the risks of misalignment? And most importantly—how do we bridge the gap?

Attendees will take part in discussions and problem-solving exercises to explore strategies for creating collaborative, effective digital ecosystems.

As digital transformation accelerates, the NHS must stay ahead of the curve. This closing panel will explore the cutting-edge technologies poised to revolutionise healthcare—AI, machine learning, blockchain, and beyond.

Industry experts and NHS leaders will discuss the real-world applications of emerging tech, the barriers to adoption, and what needs to change for the NHS to fully embrace innovation. Join us for a forward-looking discussion on what’s possible—and what’s next.
