Digital Innovation in Urgent and Emergency Care

Join us for our next Leeds Digital Health event, bringing together the Leeds health and tech communities to explore how digital innovation can support urgent and emergency care.

Urgent and emergency care continues to sit at the centre of the health system’s most complex challenges. As demand rises and expectations evolve, leaders across health and care are re-examining how services are designed, prioritised and delivered. This event creates space to reflect on the direction of travel for urgent and emergency care, exploring the themes shaping change across the system.

You can expect an evening of networking and insightful discussion on the role of technology in supporting urgent and emergency services. From patient experience and workforce pressures to digital enablement, service design, and new ways of working, we’ll focus on what it means to build services that are resilient, responsive, and fit for the future.

We’re pleased to have James Yates and Julian Williamson from the NHS confirmed to discuss telephone and online triage in urgent and emergency care, sharing practical insights into how digital triage services are being designed and delivered, and the choices involved in embedding them effectively across complex care pathways.

Additional speakers and talks will be confirmed shortly.

Designed for those working across healthcare, technology, and digital delivery, this event brings together professionals from frontline delivery, digital transformation, and strategy and policy to step back, share perspectives, and explore how collective action across the Leeds health and tech community can help address some of urgent and emergency care’s most complex challenges.
