Current Landscape and Challenges:
Scotland is moving into a more demanding phase of digital transformation. The conversation is no longer only about implementing systems within individual organisations. It is now about how those systems contribute to a digital health and care record that can support clinicians, social care teams, local government services and, increasingly, citizens themselves. With the legal duty for a digital integrated care record now in force and with national thinking now underway on the Digital Health and Care Record, Digital Front Door, CHI in local government and the National Digital Platform, the challenge is how to turn ambition into something consistent, usable and trusted in practice.
Many organisations are still working through the practical barriers that sit between strategy and reality. Data quality, information standards, interoperability, workflow alignment, change leadership and confidence in digital ways of working all remain live issues. Scotland’s own digital maturity work shows that workforce and citizen confidence still affect whether the benefits of transformation are fully realised, while national data strategy work is making clear that shared standards are foundational if digital care records are to work properly across settings.
It is also timely because AI is moving from future-looking discussion into live policy, governance and operational questions. Scotland’s AI Strategy now treats AI as material to public service improvement, health-and-care policy work is developing a dedicated framework for safe and ethical adoption and national public engagement has already shown that citizens want efficiency gains without losing trust, transparency or human connection.
Key Discussion Points:
- What should Scotland’s digital care record actually enable across NHS, social care and local government?
- What data will really make a difference to frontline teams and to citizens?
- Which standards, governance decisions and common identifiers are needed to support interoperability at scale?
- What does successful workforce adoption look like when record design spans multiple sectors?
- Is Scotland ready for AI, and what will responsible use mean for citizens, staff and public trust?
Why Attend:
This event is designed for senior leaders across NHS boards, HSCPs, local authorities, social care, digital, data, transformation and service improvement. Delegates will gain a clearer view of how Scotland’s legal, policy and delivery agenda is evolving; hear grounded insight on how standards, record design and adoption need to work together; and take away practical ideas for building a joined-up record that delivers value for frontline services and citizens.

Chair:
Headline Sponsor - The AI Digital Backbone
Headline Sponsor - InterSystems
Session Overview:
AI is dominating the healthcare conversation, but real value depends on more than individual tools or pilots. This session explores why a unified digital backbone is essential for scaling AI safely and effectively across Scotland’s health and care system. We’ll show how connected data, interoperable workflows, shared standards and embedded intelligence can help reduce duplication, support clinicians, improve patient flow and build the trust needed to turn digital ambition into practical value.
Case Study - Alcidion
Case Study - Alcidion
Alcidion’s software unlocks value from existing technology solutions, showing real-time capacity and demand across entire systems, identifying bottlenecks, automating routine activity and providing clinical decision support along each patient pathway, reducing the cognitive burden on staff.
From ward to board, we help the NHS to unlock value from existing technology, fill digital maturity gaps, and engage in digital programmes that deliver value quickly at a patient, organisational and system level.
