Bridging NHS Reality and Global Innovation: Culture, Communication & Digital Transformation at Scale

This session brings together leading NHS operators and an international transformation expert to explore how modernisation actually happens. The discussion will examine what it takes to bridge strategy and execution across clinical, operational, and digital teams in high-pressure environments, and what lessons global health systems can learn from one another. Using real-world examples from major NHS trusts—combined with transformation insights from large U.S. health systems—the panel highlights:
- How to modernise EPR’s, patient access and digital front doors across multi-site NHS environments
- Why communication, culture, and change-readiness matter more than any single technology
- How to align clinical, operational, and digital teams around a shared future-state vision
- What EPR migrations (Epic, Cerner, etc.) reveal about the hidden human infrastructure needed for success
- How AI, IVA, and cloud-based platforms can enable—not replace—better workflow design and safer patient journeys
- What the NHS can take from global systems, and what international organisations learn from the NHS model

Bytes instead of Bricks

The NHS is redesigning what it means to be a hospital - not just modernising what we already have. But what will tomorrow's hospitals actually like, and who is leading the change? Join us in this pannel to explore how new digital infrastructure, smart systems and AI are being embedded from the ground up.
The problem is clear: Old NHS infrastructure can't keep up with modern care.
The solution?: Design hospitals that can evolve - with embedded data, flexibility and climate resiliance.
This panel brings together leaders building the next generation of the NHS.

Workshop: How To Get Into HealthTech*
The workshop will be at the same time as lunch and Networking break

Entering the Healthtech sector as a clinician can be challenging— marked by limited exposure during medical training, unclear entry routes, and the challenge of developing technical competencies alongside clinical responsibilities. Despite growing interest, many medical professionals remain uncertain about how to take their first steps into this evolving space. This panel will provide clear, practical insights into how clinicians can engage with healthtech across all stages of their career. From independent projects and collaborative research to entrepreneurial ventures and innovation leadership, our speakers will outline actionable strategies, essential skill sets, and ways to build a professional profile that aligns with digital transformation in healthcare. We will also explore the practical application of these strategies, helping attendees translate inspiration into tangible next steps. With representation from early-career doctors, and senior opportunities in health innovation are accessible, whether you are just starting out as a medical student or looking to pivot later in your career. The panel will also discuss a more fundamental question: why are core digital knowledge and skills absent from the core undergraduate curriculum, and is it now time for specialist training programmes and certification of Digital Health & Clinical AI Consultants? Opportunities to ask questions will be available throughout the panel discussion.

Breaking Barriers: Building the NHS Integrated Health Organisation of the Future

The NHS is on a bold journey towards becoming a system of Integrated Health Organisations (IHOs) – designed to break down silos, connect services, and deliver seamless care across communities. But what does this transformation really mean for patients, clinicians, and Trusts? This panel brings together national leaders and innovators already taking steps towards integration. We’ll explore the five-year vision, showcase practical examples from across the country, and debate the real-world challenges – from culture and governance to data and digital. Join us to hear how IHOs could reshape the NHS, and what it will take to get there.

This isn't just festive drinks—it's where the ideas sparked during today's sessions crystallize into genuine collaborations. Whether you're a surgeon curious about a robotics platform you saw demonstrated, a trust director seeking to compare notes on AI implementation, or a startup founder wanting to understand clinical needs more deeply, this relaxed environment creates the space for authentic connections that structured panels simply can't. The innovations that will define the operating theatre of 2030 won't emerge from presentations alone—they'll be forged in exactly these moments, over drinks and genuine conversation, between people who share a vision for transforming surgical care.
