Exploring digital health transformation with health and tech experts

Digital and AI technology is reshaping the way our health and care system operates, as well as how patients access care. While technology alone won’t save the NHS, it plays a critical role in helping health and care services address the challenges they face. This Government has prioritised technology, with its commitment to shift services from analogue to digital, a focus that will likely feature in the upcoming NHS 10-year health plan. 

Whether you’re procuring tech in the NHS as part of a system-wide digital transformation project or selling a health tech product or bidding for NHS contracts, Mills & Reeve’s Talking digital health is the podcast for you. 

Hosted by health and tech experts, Sophie Burton-Jones and Charlotte Lewis, this podcast launched in January brings together NHS digital transformation leaders and technology suppliers to discuss key topics for those procuring technology in the NHS and those selling innovative solutions to it.
