PPP Chair Stephen Dorrell welcomes Caroline Cake, CEO of Health Data Research UK, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of developing a trustworthy health data ecosystem in the UK.

This report is a synthesis of perspectives aiming to provide a cross-industry narrative, and a set of recommendations regarding how the digitisation of health and care should proceed. This includes both strategy and policy recommendations for healthcare leaders and policymakers. PPP is grateful to be launching this report in partnership with Novartis, Cerner, Cloudgateway, Siemens Healthineers, Nourish Care and Vitality Health to rethink the delivery and meaning of healthcare in a technology-enabled 21st Century.

We stand at the dawn of the greatest advances in technology and medicine in human history. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed many limitations of our current health and care system and accentuated attention on wider health and social inequalities. Digital transformation of health and care offers the potential to usher in a new paradigm of 21st century technology enabled care. This session will be a discussion, a chance for leading voices within NHS, industry and the third sector to look at the current factors making the difference to health delivery. The hour will form part of the creation of a State of the Nation report into Digitisation and Medical Technologies which will be launched at the HETT Conference in Spring 2021.
