Connectivity and digital transformation in the health sector: how to get it right and make the NHS Long Term Plan a reality

STOP PRESS – DUE TO ILLNESS THIS WEBINAR IS POSTPONED – A NEW DATE WILL BE RE-SCHEDULED

The last 18 months have shone a spotlight on digital transformation within healthcare. Restrictions that have historically impeded digitisation in the NHS – red tape, budgetary restraints, patient adoption – were loosened to enable the health service to mobilise and meet extreme pressure.

Virgin Media O2’s study with the Centre for Economics and Business Research shows that this has led to higher patient and employee satisfaction, as well as greater internal productivity.

Connectivity has been central to this digital acceleration and, beyond the pandemic, it will be critical in meeting the ambitions of the NHS Long Term Plan. Recognising this, NHS Digital has established the Gigabit Capable Connectivity for Health and Social Care to improve networking capabilities across the health service, acknowledging that in many areas this is not fit for purpose.

This webinar will cover:
– Current challenges facing Clinical Commissioning Groups
– The opportunities connectivity and digitisation can bring within healthcare
– Best practice ideas to include in your own digital strategies
