Shared Care Record Summit re-homes to Rewired 2026
Digital Health Rewired will host the Shared Care Record Summit this March, bringing together NHS leaders, integrated care system (ICS) representatives, suppliers and innovators to discuss the next phase of joined-up care.
The half-day summit will take place on 25 March 2026 as part of Digital Health Rewired at the Birmingham NEC, at a time when the NHS is accelerating efforts to improve interoperability and build on shared care records (SCRs) to support delivery of a Single Patient Record.
Curated in partnership with Interweave and the Yorkshire & Humber Care Record (YHCR) team, the third edition of the Shared Care Record Summit is aimed at those working to connect care settings and improve access to patient information across health and care. The programme will feature national policy perspectives alongside practical, frontline learning.
Sessions will include how Shared Care Records are essential for new Neighbourhood Services, what success looks like and how is it measured, and an update on the Summit Hackathon, which is focused on progressing the UK International Patient Record.
The summit will run from 13:00–16:00 on the Patient Engagement Stage, on Wednesday 25 March, and is free to attend for NHS and public sector delegates.
Lee Rickles, CIO, Director and Deputy SIRO at Humber Teaching NHS FT and Interweave, said that hosting the Summit at Rewired would help extend its national impact.
“Previous Shared Care Record Summits have helped set the agenda for shared care records nationally,” he said. “Bringing this year’s Summit to Digital Health Rewired amplifies its reach and puts shared care firmly at the heart of the UK’s biggest digital health conversation.”
Karl Grundy, managing director of Digital Health, added that shared care records underpin the NHS’s wider ambitions for reform.
“Shared care records are foundational to the NHS’s shift towards community-based care, digitisation and prevention,” he said. “The Shared Care Records Summit has a fantastic energy with a focus on practical next steps. It’s great that Rewired attendees can access this platform for national leaders and local systems to share learning and progress.”
The Shared Care Records Summit forms part of the wider Digital Health Rewired 2026 programme, which takes place on 24–25 March at the NEC Birmingham.
The first four stages of the conference programme have been announced, covering Digital Transformation, Integrated Care, AI, and Data and Digital, with more than 40 sessions and 80 speakers confirmed.
Senior NHS leaders already announced for Rewired 2026 include Prof Andy Hardy, chief executive of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust; Siobhan Harrington, chief executive of University Hospitals Dorset; Dr Minal Bakhai, director for primary care, community transformation and improvement at NHS England; and national digital leaders including Helen Balsdon, national CNIO, and Alec Price-Forbes, national CCIO, NHS England.
Digital Health Rewired is free to attend for NHS, public sector, charities, research and education organisations, with commercial tickets available.
