As the new government continues to drive digital transformation, enhancing digital maturity across healthcare organisations is a critical priority. Building on the existing £3.4 billion investment in data and technology, Labour’s focus is on embedding digital systems to address operational challenges, reduce waiting times, and improve patient outcomes. The push towards fully digitised services is no longer a future goal but an immediate necessity. NHS organisations are expected to leverage cutting-edge technologies such as real-time data platforms, AI-driven diagnostics, and enhanced scheduling systems to boost productivity and efficiency across clinical and operational settings.

The winner of this award will be an NHS organisation which has increased their digital maturity to face their operational, financial and clinical challenges head on. A Digital Organisation of the Year will be able to demonstrate a sustained improvement in digital maturity that translates into safer, better care. Judges are looking for high levels of staff engagement with the digital agenda from all areas of the organisation, and clear evidence that increased digital maturity has directly benefited patient outcomes.
