Rackspace Technology Roundtable

The NHS is under pressure to deliver more connected, data-driven care while keeping systems resilient and patient trust intact. Critical workloads like EPR, diagnostics, and population health are the backbone of care delivery, yet recent global outages have exposed how fragile things can be when control is limited. At the same time, the ambition for AI is accelerating, but it must be balanced with safety and governance.

This session will explore why digital sovereignty, control over data, operations, and the wider digital ecosystem, should be a strategic consideration for NHS leaders. We will discuss where sovereignty matters most, how it enables operational resilience, and why it is essential for ethical, sustainable AI. Together, we will look at practical use cases and share insights on how to protect what we have while enabling what comes next.
