NHS Identity and Access Management Summit
Current Landscape:
The landscape of Identity and Access Management (IAM) within the NHS has grown increasingly intricate. The surge in digital healthcare systems, alongside escalating cybersecurity threats and the imperative to ensure secure yet seamless access to sensitive patient data, has created a critical need for sophisticated IAM solutions.
These solutions must adeptly manage identities, control access, and protect patient information across a myriad of healthcare platforms and devices.
In this evolving landscape, the balance between clinical IAM and consumer experience is paramount. Effective IAM must not only safeguard patient data and comply with stringent regulatory requirements but also provide a smooth and intuitive user experience for both healthcare professionals and patients.
Ensuring that healthcare staff can quickly and securely access necessary information without compromising patient privacy is a key challenge that requires innovative and patient-centric solutions.
Timeliness of Event:
The NHS Identity and Access Management Summit 2024 arrives at a pivotal moment. The healthcare sector is undergoing rapid digitisation, facing heightened regulatory demands, and confronting new security challenges. Healthcare organisations are striving to implement effective IAM strategies that can address these multifaceted issues. This summit provides a timely and essential platform to tackle these challenges, share best practices, and explore innovative solutions that enhance both clinical IAM and consumer experience.
Key Event Subjects:
- Streamlining Clinical Access: Focus on strategies to ensure quick and secure access for healthcare professionals to patient data. Discuss the implementation of single sign-on solutions and role-based access controls that enhance clinical efficiency while maintaining stringent security protocols.
- Enhancing Patient Portals: Explore ways to improve patient portals to provide a seamless and secure user experience. Topics include intuitive design, easy navigation, and robust authentication methods that protect patient data without hindering access.
- Consent Management: Examine effective consent management platforms that give patients control over their data. Discuss how to implement transparent consent processes that build patient trust and comply with regulatory requirements.

Keynote presentation - User authentication and access: Supporting staff to succeed? (Confirmed)
User authentication is a fundamental and essential element of cyber security and data protection. However, the resulting user experience can be significantly varied, depending on the specifics of the approaches involved, and the extent to which the users themselves have been guided and supported in the process. The presentation considers the potential challenges inherent in enabling authentication technologies to be used effectively, and potential pitfalls from the user and management perspectives.
Panel Discussion: Navigating Security Challenges in NHS Identity and Access Management
This panel will delve into the intricate landscape of security challenges faced by the NHS in managing identities and access. It will explore strategies to address vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and ensure robust authentication and authorisation processes within the healthcare system.
