NHSX and the AI Lab have been set up to deliver the data, digital and technological changes as set out in the NHS 10 Year Plan. The NHS has been on a protracted journey to digital transformation for some time. Prior to the pandemic, Matt Hancock, the Health and Social Care Secretary focused attention on driving technological innovation in the NHS. A policy paper was published, NHSX was created, the Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) was established to support the ambition to make the NHS one of the most pro-innovation health systems in the world, along with a host of other initiatives. Before Covid-19 struck, the momentum to modernise the NHS through digital transformation was high on the agenda with new initiatives launched to support progress. The organisation is made up of expertise brought together into one team from the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Improvement and has a mandate to digitally enable the NHS through programmes of transformation and lead policy, implementation and change. NHSX’s main responsibilities for NHS technology, digital and data include: the setting of national policy; encourage new technological innovations; support digital skills and culture; development and sharing of best practices; drive interoperability; set IT standards; and improve procurement.
