The future of healthcare through imaging

This session explores how digital innovation is transforming imaging and diagnostics across the NHS. From embedding evidence-based decision support like iRefer to reduce unnecessary scans, to digitising endoscopy workflows and eliminating paper, speakers will highlight practical approaches to improving efficiency and patient care. It will also examine the development of a National Imaging Registry to enable seamless, real-time sharing of radiology images across England. Together, these initiatives demonstrate how smarter data use, standardisation, and interoperability can unlock capacity, reduce costs, and support faster, safer clinical decision-making at scale.
