Backlogs, Bottlenecks, and Broken Rotas: What Can AI Actually Fix?

Staff rotas, discharge delays, and patient flow are among the biggest challenges NHS hospitals face. AI may finally be the solution to this problem. This panel looks at how trusts are using AI to automate workforce planning, forecast bottlenecks, and run live operational dashboards. Featuring early adopters of tools like ‘Lizzie’ and hospital command centres, we’ll unpack what it takes to deliver measurable value from automation on the frontline.

Medicines Optimisation: From Hospital to Community

Moving care from Hospital to community will enable patient centred care, bringing care closer to home and supporting the care in hospitals for those who need it most. How do we engage the pharmacy workforce and what digital advances will enable seamless patient care?
With opportunities to focus on prevention and changes in regulation, the pharmacy team are an ideal clinical resource to provide clinical care and improve patient outcomes.

Virtual wards: Is it a safe solution to bed shortages?

With growing demand, bed shortages, and workforce constraints, virtual wards are becoming a strategic priority. In this session, clinical and digital leaders share how they’ve delivered safe, scalable models of hospital-at-home care across different specialities. We’ll explore how these systems were commissioned, staffed, and integrated into wider pathways and what’s needed to move from pilot to population scale.

What Does the Hospital of 2035 Actually Look Like?

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.

Chair of South West London ICB & Chairman at Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust

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 insighs 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 speajers will outline actionable stratergies, 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 stratergies, helping attendeed translate inspiration into tangible next steps. With representation from early-career doctors, and senior opportunities in health innovation are accessible - whether you are just startinf 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 absemt from the core undergraduate curriculum, and is it now time for specialist training programmes and certification of Digital Health & Clinical AI Consultants?

How close are we to an AI that doctors trust to write for them?

Why are hospitals building digital twins — and are they worth the cost?

Imagine being able to simulate your entire hospital’s operations before they happen.
