8 August 2025

In this episode of Health on the Line, we’re diving into all things digital and how it relates to the Ten-Year Health Plan for the NHS. To discuss the topic, we are joined by Andrea Winders, head of business development for life sciences and healthcare at MIDAS (Greater Manchester’s Inward Investment Agency), and Dr Nnenna Osuji, chief executive of North Middlesex Hospital, to unpack the NHS’s ambitious digital transformation plan. 

The conversation explores how the NHS can harness data, AI and digital tools to create the most digitally accessible health system in the world.  From the promise of the NHS App as a ‘doctor in your pocket’ to the challenges of infrastructure, interoperability and staff training, our guests offer candid insights into what’s working and where improvements can be made. 

We also hear from Annie Bliss, senior policy advisor at the NHS Confederation, who delves into government plans to reintroduce performance league tables and what this means for the NHS.
