Lead with confidence in a digital NHS

Digital is critical to addressing the biggest challenges in health and care — from improving access to care to enabling better decision-making.

But years of underinvestment and uneven digital infrastructure have made it harder for providers to scale innovation and fully realise these benefits.

Gaps in foundational systems, poor implementation and siloed approaches continue to hold back progress. To make the most of digital, leaders need the skills, confidence and shared vision to drive meaningful change.

Enhancing digital maturity can:
  • Improve patient access to their data and services,

  • Give staff timely access to the information they need,

  • Support decisions with high-quality, integrated data, and

  • Enable system-wide collaboration and smarter working.

This programme is designed to help you:
  • Lead digital transformation with confidence and clarity,

  • Make informed decisions that deliver real impact,

  • Provide assurance around digital risks and investment, and

  • Maximise digital as a driver of system-wide improvement.
