Healthcare & Digital Transformation | Virgin Media Business

The NHS Long Term Plan in 2019 spoke of a ‘digital first’ healthcare system for the UK.

Little did we know how quickly that reality would be forced upon us.

When the nation was forced into self-isolation last year, the NHS had to think on its feet, adapting fast to avoid disaster.

But despite the extra pressure the pandemic created and the tragedies many in the sector had to witness, some positive side effects emerged from the crisis.

The industry saw financial restrictions and red tape slashed, allowing NHS organisations to invest in new digital services faster and more widely than ever.

This brought changes to health and social care that went further and faster than many people thought possible, from remote consultations with GPs to the ability to share sensitive data in real time.

There is still monumental pressure on the NHS, of course – leaders have warned that extra government funding could quickly run out in the face of record waiting lists. And without the right action there’s a danger the NHS Long Term Plan won’t be realised.

Health organisations must now continue to lean on digital technology to support them through the difficult period of transition for the sector.

Our latest report explores how you can do that.

The pandemic accelerated digital transformation in the UK’s health sector by more than four years, according to our latest report with the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

And all that innovation has significantly boosted patient satisfaction, employee productivity and employee satisfaction, potentially adding £53 billion to UK GDP by 2040 if the current pace of change continues.

But what does all this mean for you and your organisation? And how can you make the most of the digital opportunities ahead?

We’ve created this health sector-focused report to help you answer these questions and more.

You’ll learn:

Which digital technologies the health sector has been investing in and why
How hybrid working is creating better work/life balance and relieving pressure on the NHS
How new digital services are helping to deliver better patient care, and what those services are
How smarter use of data is creating a better connected, more unified health sector
