![]() What we have in the UK is a thriving digital innovation sector. Innovators in this field may come from sectors that are not necessarily familiar with medical ethics and research regulation, and may utilise data sets or processing methods that sit outside existing NHS safeguards.Īt the same time, the wider NHS – patients, professionals, commissioners, purchasers – need a means of obtaining assurance and confidence across these domains so they can fulfil their duty to provide the best care to patients and the best value to the system. Due to the privileged nature of dealing with people’s health and their protected data, the system is covered by various pieces of legislation as well as professional and ethical standards. The healthcare system is a unique space where a variety of regulatory ecosystems overlap. It is our duty as NHS England and central government to capitalise on these opportunities responsibly. The Secretary of State’s Technology Vision goes on to articulate a clear ambition for the generation of more digital services designed around user need and adhering to key principles of privacy, security, interoperability and inclusion. NHS England’s Long Term Plan sets the direction towards widespread digitally-enabled care. Across the country and around the globe, digital innovators are helping us deliver our commitment to the digital transformation of health and social care, to bring benefits to patients, the workforce and the system as a whole. ![]()
