10 must-see sessions at Rewired 2026
Looking for some inspiration to plan your Rewired agenda? We’ve highlighted the not-to-miss sessions to get you started.
You’ll likely find the UK’s biggest meet-up of NHS digital leads in Birmingham on the 24th-25th March. That’s because Rewired is once again opening its doors to showcase the latest tech in healthcare, with free tickets to anyone in the public sector.
If you’re one of these digital leads, this is your opportunity to get up close and personal with tech designed for hospital environments. In fact, you’ll find us at G36 where we’ll be giving demos on Agentic AI for Contact Centres, Axiom for easier network ops, and medical equipment tracking. (We’d love you to come and say hi).
However, there are plenty of important sessions if you’d rather hear from peers. This year has a whopping 10 stages, covering everything from digital infrastructure and cyber security to EPR deployment and digital leadership.
There’s a lot to fit into two days at Rewired. So, we’ve picked out just some of the sessions we think you’ll find helpful to get things started.
Our top picks for your agenda
1. Building resilient infrastructure for the future of healthcare
(Tues 24th March, 10.30-11.30, Cyber & Infrastructure stage)
Features: Moorfields Eye Hospital
“Healthcare is becoming increasingly dependent on resilient digital infrastructure, with clinical systems, connected medical devices and patient data all relying on secure, high-availability networks. Understanding how NHS organisations are building resilient infrastructure will be important for leaders planning future digital transformation and ensuring their estates can support technologies such as EPRs, AI, and smart hospital environments over the coming years,” says James Haralambos, Account Executive.
“To ensure Trusts see the benefits from the significant investment made into EPR and digital technology, it’s essential we put the right infrastructure foundations in place for the future. This also enables a platform for implementing more smart building technology which will improve productivity for staff and clinicians and improve patient care,” says Stefan Phillips, Sales Director.
2. From procurement to roll out: top tips from the largest open market procurement of ambient AI
(Wednesday 25th March, 11.30-12.30, AI stage)
Features: University Hospital of Leicester NHS Trust, University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group, and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
There’s a lot of theory around deploying AI in the NHS, but less examples of practice. Hear from Trusts who’ve gone through the process of putting AI in place. This is your chance to understand the realities you may not have thought about yet and receive a walk-through of how you can bring clinical staff along on the journey.
3. Practical guidance on implementing digital in clinical settings
(Tues 24th March, 12.30-13.30, Digital Frontline stage)
Features: Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, University of London, Community Pharmacy Greater Manchester
“Lots of trusts are now looking at digital tools like virtual assistants to help manage demand and improve access to services such as NHS 111. I’m looking forward to hearing the practical lessons from organisations actually implementing these technologies and how they’re improving patient access while making life easier for staff,” says Will Dumbrill, Account Manager.
4. Shift to digital in maternity care: improving patient safety
(Tuesday 24th March, 15.00-16.00, Digital Frontline stage)
Features: Perinatal Institute, and Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
We’ve seen first-hand how digital is helping to improve maternity standards. For example, connecting midwives across the Trust so mothers-to-be can be cared for at whatever hospital best suits their needs. Or spreading out mothers across locations to deal with overcapacity. This session delves into some of these conversations and is ideal if you’re looking to improve patient experiences in your maternity ward. (Something we’ve seen be a small investment, with a big win.)
5. From pilot to practice: making innovation stick in the NHS
(Wednesday 25th March, 14.20-15.15, Digital Leadership stage)
Features: NHS InSites, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
“With so much innovation and the shift to digital becoming pivotal to delivering modern healthcare, it’s common for innovation to stall at the pilot stage. It’s key to engage the right stakeholders across the organisation to properly assess and demonstrate the clinical impact that new technology often brings to the wider teams, not just IT,” says Calum Bilton, Account Executive.
“The NHS isn’t short of innovation pilots, but scaling them into production is where most stall. This session should give practical insight into how organisations are overcoming that gap and what it really takes to embed digital change across services,” says Darryl White, Account Director.
6. What infrastructure and protection we need for the NHS of the future
(Wednesday 25th March, 15.00-15.45, Cyber and Infrastructure stage)
Features: The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, and NHS England
“Infrastructure is a backbone to modern healthcare, and understanding the key requirements is essential to building a robust, future-ready infrastructure to enable an effective and modern healthcare environment and enabling our customers to deal with increasing pressures,” says Calum.
7. Beyond the hospital walls: scaling shared care for neighbourhoods
(Wednesday 25th March, 13.00-13.45, Patient Engagement stage)
Features: Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, and NHS South West London Integrated Care Board
How can care remain connected as Trusts begin to merge? How can you ensure patients on the fringes of your region receive the same care and attention as those in the heart of your hospitals? Shared Care Records can be hugely helpful in creating consistent care but the data has to be there. This session looks at how you might be able to target the gaps if your Trust is facing this community care issue.
8. Rethinking Digital Transformation – aligning NHS policy, workforce realities, and patient experience
(Wednesday 25th March, 14.45-15.30, Digital Transformation stage)
Features: Imperial College London
“As patients’ expectations grow it’s imperative that future digital transformations look at meaningful ways technology can improve patient and staff experience. This is a great opportunity to learn how to approach future transformation projects,” says Darryl Chitura-Bidwell, Account Executive.
9. From go live to impact: how EPR optimisation gives time back to care
(Tuesday 24th March, 14.15-15.00, EPR Implementation and Optimisation stage)
Features: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Sherwood Forest Hospitals, and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire
Sometimes deployments need further tweaking after implementation. This can be hard for some stakeholders to accept, especially if they’ve been expecting transformational results from day one. If you’ve reached the stage where you’re optimising EPR while trying to manage expectations, this session could be helpful for you. Three Trusts will tell you where they’ve really seen the benefits and how they’re avoiding bureaucracy in the process.
10. The 10 year plan: is there a transition from patient to citizen safety?
(Wednesday 25th March, 12.00-12.45, Cyber and Infrastructure stage)
Features: Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust
“As digital transformation accelerates across the NHS, cyber resilience is becoming a critical foundation for innovation. The debate on how cyber can power the 10-year plan reflects the need for secure infrastructure that protects sensitive systems while still enabling organisations to share data and adopt new digital services,” says Shaun Platt, Account Director.
