How can we turn promising innovation into real progress in the complex, high-stakes world of healthcare? In a sector where the ambition to innovate responsibly and improve patient outcomes is already widely shared, the real challenge lies in making it happen. This means navigating organisational complexity, skills gaps, limited capacity, infrastructure challenges and leadership hurdles.
This panel will explore how we can move beyond ideas and into delivery, connecting with the State of Digital Government report recommendations and considering the short and longer-term opportunities emerging from the NHS England abolition. We'll examine how to unlock meaningful progress on data and service innovation, AI and sustainability in health and social care. To innovate not just boldly but effectively, so we can achieve better outcomes for patients.
