AI and digital transformation will be vital to delivering on the ambitions of the 10 Year Health Plan – to increase NHS productivity and deliver on the three shifts.

In this episode, recorded live at Digital Health Rewired, we delve into a real-world example of this, exploring a project in North East London, where AI-guided clinical coaching is being used to ease pressure on urgent and emergency care services.

Claire Portsmouth, Director of Communications and Engagement at the Health Innovation Network, is joined by Dr Chris Laing, CEO at UCLPartners and Hugh Lloyd-Jukes, CEO of Health Navigator, who share more about this three-year programme of work with NHS North East London, which takes a proactive, preventative approach to reduce demand on the system and support patients to access the right care, at the right time. They also share their biggest learnings from embarking on an AI implementation project in the NHS.

To mark International Women’s Day 2026, this special podcast episode explores how innovation in women’s health can improve health outcomes and drive economic growth, featuring Women’s Health Minister Gillian Merron.

Chaired by Dr Dominique Allwood, Chief Executive of Imperial College Health Partners, and with Dr MaryAnn Ferreux, Chief Medical Officer at Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex, the episode asks a powerful question: what can we give to advance women’s health, and what do we all stand to gain as a result?

Baroness Merron describes her role sitting at the heart of the government’s commitment to driving change in women health and confirms in this episode, the updated strategy will include new diagnostic technologies, digital tools and advances in research.
