The packed programme for Rewired 2024 has been published by Digital Health, showcasing the very best in digital health from across the NHS and beyond. 

The over-arching theme, explored across eleven themed stages, is how digital and data can enable the future delivery of new models of care and support better health for all.   

The conference, headlined sponsored by SystemC, Graphnet and TPP, runs this year 12-13 March at the NEC in Birmingham.  

The five main Rewired24 stages are: 

Digital Transformation

Integrated Care

Leadership and Teams

AI, Data and Analytics

Digital Nursing and Midwifery Stage, (AHP and Pharmacy Stage on day two) 

Then there are the four one-day stages: 

Patient Engagement

Innovation

Cyber security

Smart Health 

At the very heart of the Rewired programme are dozens of amazing digital health case studies and examples of best practice, from inspiring teams across all parts of the NHS. Over 100 feature on the programme, following a record-breaking open call for speakers.  

Rewired24 features national policy and system leaders, trust CEOs, current and future digital leaders, a diverse range of teams delivering great digital innovations across the NHS, as well as suppliers and visionary start-ups, and many more working across digital health. 

Jon Hoeksma, CEO Digital Health, said “My sincere thanks to the programme group, all our partners, everyone who responded to the open call to help us build the most diverse, eclectic and compelling Rewired programme ever. 

“If you have any interest in how digital health and data are reshaping the future of health, please come and take part in Rewired24.”
