Talking Heads: NHS 10-Year Plan – Analogue to Digital

In the second video in our series on the NHS 10-Year Plan, Richard Lane and Ian McKie discuss one of its most transformative elements – the shift from Analogue to Digital.

Digital transformation has been high on the agenda for some time, but the 10-Year Plan establishes it as a core driver in reshaping the NHS and ensuring it is fit for the future.

The Single Patient Record is a fundamental element of this plan, set to unify healthcare data and transform the delivery of services. It’s an ambitious initiative to address one of the biggest frustrations for providers and patients alike – fragmentation of health data, and limitations of legacy systems. The Single Patient Record will consolidate records and give patients and providers greater access and control over their data.

In this video, we explore what this change means for NHS organisations: from how the new model could be built, to the opportunities for efficiency and the challenges it poses around interoperability, procurement and risk.

Drawing on their experience advising on large-scale ICT projects in healthcare, Richard Lane and Ian McKie share insights on how digital transformation is reshaping the NHS landscape, and what providers need to consider.
