Exploring how digital access, data transparency and design can reshape the patient experience
As the NHS accelerates delivery of its digital and data strategy, Integrated Care Systems are at the forefront of empowering patients to take a more active role in their health and care. From access to shared records and results, to personalised digital pathways and self-management tools, the ambition is clear - to give people greater control of their data, decisions, and wellbeing.
Yet while the vision is bold, progress remains uneven. The NHS App, digital front doors and patient portals are transforming access in some regions, but challenges around inclusion, interoperability and trust persist. True empowerment requires not just new technology, but culture change, co-design and equitable implementation across systems, providers and communities.
The HSJ Digital Patient Empowerment Forum will convene senior NHS leaders, digital and transformation directors, and patient advocates to explore how we can turn this ambition into reality. Through case studies, panel discussions and interactive sessions, the forum will examine how technology, behavioural insight and design can shift power to patients - creating a more connected, inclusive and person-centred NHS. Join this one-day event to hear from pioneering systems, share learning with over 130 peers, and shape the next phase of the NHS digital empowerment journey.
Part of HSJ HealthSHIFT: Access & Empowerment, this Forum will run alongside:
- HSJ Care Closer to Home Forum - Shift healthcare from hospital to community and harnessing neighbourhood working
- HSJ Reducing Health Inequalities - Addressing and tackling health disparities and health inequalities across the health system
This co-location will create crossover audiences, broaden networking opportunities, and bring fresh voices and expertise into the conversation - accelerating the scale and spread of best practice.
