Making Digital Deliver for the NHS
21 October 2026
Open conference for all public servants.
Making Digital Deliver for the NHS will provide one of the first major platforms for the NHS's new digital leadership to outline its priorities for implementation.
Alongside senior NHS executives and national policy leaders, delegates will hear directly from those responsible for shaping and delivering the next phase of digital transformation.
The event offers a rare opportunity to understand national priorities while discussing the practical realities of delivery with peers from across the health and care system.
The event is part of Global Government Forum’s wider Innovation in Health programme, which includes conferences, research, webinars, roundtables, and more.
The NHS has no shortage of digital ambition. The challenge is turning strategy into measurable improvements for patients, staff and taxpayers. Today, the frontline experience of digital in the NHS still lags behind the services people use every day, waiting lists remain too long and productivity is under pressure.
Making Digital Deliver for the NHS brings together the leaders shaping the next phase of digital health and care with a focus on practical implementation, peer learning and honest discussion about what works, what doesn't and how to scale success.
Done well, the analogue-to-digital shift should mean shorter waits, safer care, a better experience for staff and higher productivity. This conference is where NHS leaders come to share practical experience, challenge assumptions and learn how others are delivering change at scale.
Key themes:
- Delivering the ambitions of the 10 Year Health Plan through digital, data and AI.
- Turning digital investment into measurable improvements for patients, staff and the wider health and care system.
- Scaling successful innovation and sharing best practice across the NHS.
- Strengthening leadership, workforce capability and organisational readiness for digital transformation.
- Overcoming barriers to adoption, including procurement, interoperability, data and national-local coordination.
- Building effective partnerships between the NHS and industry to accelerate innovation and deliver long-term value.
