In March, NHS England’s CTO Sonia Patel launched at the Digital Health Rewired keynote Let’s Talk Architecture, a national conversation to co-create a digital and data blueprint for health and care. Her call-to-action to industry is clear: bring your insights so we can move the service “from analogue to digital” and tackle today’s biggest healthcare challenges with modern technology practices. 

Therefore, techUK is co-hosting an exclusive webinar to provide our members with the opportunity to shape that blueprint. 

Key areas of discussion 

  • Infrastructure Investment vs Digital Impact 
    NHS digital-infrastructure spend keeps rising, yet impact on patient care and workforce productivity is flat. The team will examine whether the root causes are high unit prices, an overcrowded solutions landscape or the drag of legacy tech and discuss how the supplier ecosystem can help close the gap. 

  • Alignment with Future Business Architecture 
    Personalised care and neighbourhood-team models demand a new digital backbone. Sonia will show how the draft One Architecture Charter ties technology choices to these emerging service designs, and what that means for your product roadmaps and go-to-market plans. 

  • Simplification of the Technology Stack 
    AI, advanced analytics and zero-trust security only succeed on solid foundations. Learn pragmatic routes to consolidating and securing the stack so new capabilities aren’t bolted onto crumbling infrastructure. 

Why industry leaders should attend 

Gain early sight of NHS England’s emerging data architecture, pressure-test your own cloud, AI and legacy-remediation strategies against it, and help set the values, standards and buy-vs-build guidance that will frame upcoming procurement.
