What to Expect
Message by the Conference Chair
Dear AI Healthcare enthusiasts,
It is my honour to welcome you to the AI Digital Health Conference 2025 at the Royal College of Physicians, London. As Chair of this event and head of the AI Division of UK Digital Health & Care (UKDHC), I’m proud that this conference would contribute directly to the Prime Minister’s 10-Year Plan for an AI-enabled NHS, transforming care from analogue to digital, hospital-centred to community-based, and reactive to preventative.
Our distinguished speakers bring expertise across policy, clinical leadership, primary care, innovation, and digital education, presenting real-world AI applications that enhance patient safety, efficiency, and outcomes. The programme offers a complete view, from governance to implementation, showing how AI can be safely embedded across the NHS.
I hope, we as Team-UKDHC, led by Prof Angus Wallace would inspire collaboration, innovation, and meaningful progress toward a truly digitally empowered, patient-centred NHS.
