Dr Charlotte Refsum, director of health policy at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) will make a welcome return to Digital Health Rewired in 2026.
Refsum, who sat on the data and technology enabling working group for the government’s 10 year health plan, has long championed digital health records, AI adoption and innovation to power the NHS’s next decade.
She began her career as a GP, and later her role at KPMG took her to visit hospitals and health systems around the world.
In her role as director of health policy at the TBI, she is at the forefront of its mission to harness the power of AI, data and digital for the public good.
In a Rewired 2025 fireside discussion Refsum and Markus Bolton, chief executive at Graphnet, explored how digital care records could enable integrated care and accelerate future health and care services.
In the lead up to the event, Refsum spoke exclusively to Digital Health News about why she believes that a digital health record for every citizen is key to preparing the NHS for the AI era.
At Rewired 2026, which takes place on 24-25 March at the Birmingham NEC, Refsum will speak on the Digital Transformation Stage to give her views on what comes next in the NHS’s shift to digitisation and prevention.
Other speakers confirmed for next year’s event include Jonathan Brotherton, chief executive at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, and Rachel Power, chief executive at The Patients Association.
The pair will provide invaluable insights from their experiences in leading digital initiatives for safer care and improved patient outcomes.
Dr Jennifer Dixon, chief executive of the Health Foundation, and Hutan Ashrafian, chief medical officer at Harbinger Health will also be part of the speaker line-up next year.
Digital Health Rewired, which is headline sponsored by The Access Group and Optum, is the largest trade show connecting all parts of the UK health IT sector and digital health community.
