Digital Health Rewired 2027 has announced the launch of its Digital Transformation Stage, bringing together national direction, policy insight and frontline experience to explore how digital ambition can become measurable, system-wide change. 

Taking place on 16–17 March 2027 at NEC Birmingham, the stage will examine the priorities shaping digital health and care, including the three shifts outlined in the 10 year health plan: moving care into the community, driving digitalisation and strengthening prevention.

Other sessions will explore building the infrastructure for neighbourhood health, enabling transformation across organisational boundaries, productivity returns on digital investment, and building transformation teams.

Steve Wightman, managing director, health and integrated care, at the stage’s sponsor, The Access Group, told Digital Health News: “We are delighted to be supporting Digital Health Rewired as headline sponsor for the third year running.

“The Digital Transformation Stage is the best place to showcase proven examples of digital technology best practice, and the event brings together the right people to have the discussions that matter at this critical time for the NHS.”

The programme will feature national keynote speakers, NHS leaders and technology suppliers.

Dame Caroline Clarke, chief executive, and Pete Sinden, chief digital and information officer at the Online NHS Trust, the digital-first organisation tasked with delivering England’s ‘online hospital’, are among the recently announced keynote speakers who will feature on the stage.

Other confirmed speakers include:

• Helen Balsdon, chief nursing information officer, NHS England
• Pritesh Mistry, fellow, digital technologies, The King’s Fund
• Lisa Hollins, executive director of UK operations, British Red Cross
• Abigail Harrison, executive director of digital, infrastructure and improvement, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust
• Steve McManus, chief executive, NHS College of Leadership and Management
• Professor Kevin Fong, chief medical officer, UCL Partners

Rewired 2027 is aimed at digital, data and technology professionals working across health and social care, with 4,500 attendees expected. The event attracts more NHS CCIOs, CIOs and CNIOs than any other UK event.

The two-day event is free to attend for NHS and public sector professionals, charities, universities and researchers. Commercial delegate tickets start at £789 plus VAT.
