Connected Patients: Shared Care Records & Platforms Powering Modern Healthcare

As health and care systems continue their digital transformation journeys, connected data is becoming central to delivering safer, faster and more joined-up patient care.
Join Leeds Digital Health for an engaging discussion exploring the evolution of connected care records, including Shared Care Records, the emerging vision of the Single Patient Record, and the data platforms helping to make them possible.

This session will examine how integrated data is supporting clinicians, operational teams and patients across the NHS and wider care ecosystem. We’ll also take a closer look at the technologies and platforms underpinning these ambitions, including Federated Data Platforms (FDPs), interoperability approaches, and modern health data architectures.
Whether you're involved in digital transformation, data strategy, clinical systems, analytics or frontline care, this event will provide practical insight into the opportunities, challenges and future direction of connected healthcare data.
