The recent Autumn Budget has set the stage for major improvements in the NHS, with a commitment of £22.6 billion for day-to-day healthcare and an additional £2 billion dedicated to technology and digital transformation. As a digital health provider focused on long-term conditions, we view this investment as a critical step toward a more efficient, digitally integrated NHS. While the additional funding is promising, the path forward requires more than just capital. Leaders across the sector emphasise the importance of targeted, scalable solutions that address the backlog and improve patient outcomes sustainably. We support a focus on interoperable, patient-centered technology—ensuring that new investments lead to a connected NHS where patient information flows seamlessly across settings. This digital integration is especially vital for individuals with chronic conditions, who would benefit from personalised, proactive care that reduces hospital visits and enhances quality of life. The budget represents a pivotal opportunity to modernise the NHS. With strategic investment in digital health and a focus on scalable, data-driven solutions, the NHS can advance beyond immediate relief efforts, building a future-ready, patient-centered healthcare system. #AutumnBudget #NHSImprovement #DigitalHealth #HealthTech https://lnkd.in/eUhsHaJa

So we've had the Budget and billions of pounds of investment pledged for the NHS. The question now is where that money will be best spent as we await reforms in the New Year - with the promise of a switch to early intervention through a preventative model of care. To meet the ambitions of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) seeking to implement digital transformation strategies, this must include investment in a true connected approach to technological solutions, and a more joined up, co-ordinated health, housing and social care system. This approach will start to put the community supported healthcare agenda back on track, enabling preventative care and allowing people to live independently for longer. Read our latest blog for our view on why this approach will be key to that success.

The increased funding for the digitalisation of the NHS and Electronic Patient Records announced in yesterday's budget represents a significant and exciting advancement in modernising healthcare infrastructure in the UK. This investment will provide much needed financial support and will serve to incentivise ICS's to prioritise this workstream which in the long run will streamline processes and enhance patient care. Which can only be a great thing! This initiative not only promotes efficiency but also lays the groundwork for a more connected and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem, positioning the NHS for greater resilience and innovation in the digital age. Nasstar is ready to assist Healthcare Organisations in seizing the opportunity of consolidating Electronic Patient Records and supporting them on their digital Journey. We have the expertise, resources, and ability to leverage additional funding to facilitate the smooth transition to a unified EPR system.

**UK's PM Pledges Digital Transformation for the NHS** Yesterday saw a potential pivotal moment for our healthcare system. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a bold commitment to transition from an "analogue to a digital NHS." This decision follows Lord Ara Darzi's comprehensive review, which highlighted the critical condition of the NHS and a pressing need for digital maturity. Lord Darzi's report, released on 12 September, stated he was "shocked" by what he found, not sure why as most people I speak to knows the NHS has gone backwards in just about every area over the last 15 years or so. Raiding your capital budgets and cutting back on capital investment (by £37 billion) will tend to have that effect over time I guess! So the answer to save the NHS? Well as one of my favorite musicians might say (Prince by the way) "lets go crazy, lets gets nuts" or lets invest in digital, lets invest in infrastructure (singing this optional). Not simple to implement I know but at least a clear, simple plan none the less. The shift to digital is seen as a major step in addressing these challenges (the NHS is at least 10 -15 years behind the curve), by integrating advanced technologies and enhancing data utilisation, the NHS aims to improve patient care and efficiency. As a recruitment firm deeply embedded in the healthtech sector, we are excited about this direction. The move not only creates new opportunities for digital innovation but also heralds a demand for skilled professionals to help drive this transformation. The future of our healthcare system depends on these (and other) changes. Share your thoughts on how we move from the digital "foothills" to the peak of the mountain. - #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #NHSTransformation#recruitment #healthcare #socialcare

Last week’s budget, the first under the new government and delivered by the UK’s first female Chancellor of the exchequer, introduced a £2 billion investment in healthcare technology. This funding signals a commitment to revitalizing the NHS with digital solutions aimed at improving care delivery, reducing wait times, and making services more accessible. 💻 From AI-powered diagnostics to improved data systems for patient records, this investment allows the NHS to modernize care pathways and improve efficiency. Dr Vin Diwakar, NHS National Director for Transformation, highlighted that this funding will drive productivity by shifting services from analogue to digital. Thomas Whicher, CEO of DrDoctor, called the budget “bold but realistic” and emphasized the need for “working smarter” for a modern NHS that supports both patients and professionals. For instance, offering online appointment rescheduling could reduce missed appointments, helping to shrink waitlists and ease provider workloads. 🔍 By prioritising digital upgrades the NHS could tackle long-standing issues, improve resource efficiency, and better adapt to patient needs. Systems for digital triage and appointment management could boost operational effectiveness and strengthen the UK’s health resilience. However, deploying technology across multiple trusts and varied procurement systems in the NHS is a significant challenge, but success would be transformative. Mark Leftwich, Managing Director at Philips UK & Ireland, noted that while state-of-the-art technologies impact care delivery, scaled-up investment in digital systems is essential to achieving nationwide benefits. He advocates for focus areas like digitising patient records, enhancing home-based care, and modernising NHS infrastructure. 📈 This funding could pave the way for a more accessible, equitable, and efficient healthcare system, reducing pressure on hospitals, empowering patients with faster access, and boosting public confidence. While a unified NHS App platform could improve overall access for the majority, it’s essential to ensure that robust non-digital options remain available for those without easy digital access. Excited to see how this funding will shape the NHS for a healthier, more connected UK. #UKBudget #NHS #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #FutureOfHealthcare To find out more about our work at Candesic drop us a message, visit our website or give us a call.
