Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare. From improving diagnosis and supporting clinicians to streamlining services and helping organisations make better use of data, AI has the potential to reshape how the NHS delivers care.

However, successful AI adoption requires more than technology alone. It requires strong leadership, collaboration, robust governance, and a focus on improving outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals.

That is why The NHS National AI Conference, part of GIANT Health Event 2026, brings together NHS leaders, clinicians, digital specialists, researchers, innovators, and technology providers to explore how AI can be safely and effectively implemented across the health service.

Exploring the Role of AI in the NHS

The NHS is already exploring and adopting AI solutions across a wide range of areas, from diagnostics and clinical decision support to operational efficiency and personalised care.

The NHS National AI Conference focuses on the practical opportunities and challenges of bringing AI into healthcare environments, including:

• Using AI to improve patient outcomes
• Supporting clinicians with intelligent tools and automation
• AI in diagnostics, imaging, and early detection
• Data-driven decision-making across NHS organisations
• Digital transformation and smarter healthcare delivery
• Responsible AI, ethics, safety, and governance
• Building trust in AI among patients and healthcare professionals
• Scaling successful AI innovations across the NHS

Learn From NHS AI Leaders and Innovators

The future of healthcare AI will be shaped by those delivering change on the frontline.

The conference will feature insights from NHS executives, clinicians, digital transformation leaders, academics, and technology experts who are developing and implementing AI solutions across healthcare.

Through keynote sessions, expert panels, and real-world case studies, attendees will explore what successful AI adoption looks like and how organisations can overcome barriers to implementation.

Moving From AI Potential to Real-World Impact

AI has generated significant excitement across healthcare—but turning innovation into measurable improvements requires practical approaches.

The NHS National AI Conference will explore the key questions facing healthcare leaders today:

• How can the NHS scale AI solutions effectively?
• How do we ensure AI improves care while maintaining safety and trust?
• What skills and infrastructure are needed to support AI adoption?
• How can healthcare organisations prepare for an AI-enabled future?

By bringing together healthcare professionals and technology experts, the conference creates a space for open discussion, shared learning, and collaboration.

Connect With the Healthcare AI Community

Innovation happens when the right people come together.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with NHS decision-makers, clinicians, AI developers, startups, researchers, and industry partners who are working to advance healthcare through technology.

Whether you are beginning your AI journey, exploring new solutions, or already implementing AI within your organisation, the conference offers valuable insights and connections.
