Digital transformation is rapidly reshaping health and care services across the UK. With growing pressures on the workforce, limited resources, and increasing demands for improved services, there is an urgent need for strategic innovation in the management of both staff and resources. This interactive session provides an in-depth exploration of how digital technologies, data integration, and effective change management can help create a more agile, sustainable, and empowered NHS workforce.

Attendees will be given a clear context on the current national priorities driving NHS digital transformation, alongside a practical overview of the challenges and opportunities involved in advancing workforce and resource management. The event is designed for healthcare leaders, digital strategists, policy professionals, and service managers who are committed to achieving measurable change through technology.
