Will the NHS waste the AI moment?

​The NHS knows AI matters, but there is still no real consensus on what we're actually going to do about it, which problems to back, why so many promising pilots quietly die, and how to separate the science from the science fiction when every vendor is promising the world.

​True to form, Healthtech Talks is hosting an evening to get closer to answering those questions with people who have held the levers.

​We are bringing together senior leaders in NHS secondary care, with the wider healthcare community for a candid conversation about where AI can tangibly make a difference, where it will disappoint, and what it would really take for the health service to seize this moment rather than waste it.

​Expect straight talk, real disagreement, and views you will not hear on a conference stage. The conversation runs under Chatham House rules, so the room can speak freely.

​The evening

• ​Drinks and networking from 6:00pm

• ​A panel bringing together political, operational and frontline perspectives

• ​Networking to close

​We'll be joined by the Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Hunt, former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and former Chancellor, alongside Tara Donnelly, one of the NHS's most respected digital leaders and former Chief Digital Officer at NHS England and Jack Needham, cofounder of Sanctuary Health, a company deploying AI to solve healthcare's most complex problems.

​Places are limited and registration is subject to approval.
