NEC Health to Sponsor the Data and Digital Stage at Digital Health Rewired 2026
NEC Software Solutions will sponsor, exhibit and present at Digital Health Rewired 2026, taking place on 24–25 March at The NEC Birmingham.
Digital Health Rewired 2026 is the UK’s biggest digital health expo, bringing together everyone using digital and data to improve health and care. Held on 24–25 March at The NEC Birmingham, the event gathers NHS leaders, care providers, researchers, academics, start-ups, suppliers, and innovators to explore how digital technology supports productivity, equity, and better outcomes.
NEC Health is proud to sponsor the Data and Digital Stage, a programme focused on how the NHS can unlock efficiency and safety benefits from one of the most comprehensive health datasets in the world. With national programmes such as the Federated Data Platform, AI-enabled services and research-driven innovation accelerating, the strategic question is no longer whether the NHS has data, but how effectively it connects and applies it.

The art of the possible: data at the heart of research and innovation
24 March 2026 | 09:00–09:45 | Data and Digital Stage
The NHS is data-rich, but its potential is often limited by disconnected sources. This session from NEC Health examines how the health service can move beyond data silos to deliver measurable value through improved patient care, stronger clinical outcomes, and better operational efficiency.
Drawing on real-world insights from the National Joint Registry (NJR), the session reviews where data utilisation succeeds and where it fails, and shows how linking outcomes data with spend analytics can better inform clinical practice. By surfacing unwarranted variation and connecting cost with outcomes, the session demonstrates how integrated data supports standardised, evidence-led care in line with GIRFT priorities, and outlines a practical model for Value-Based Healthcare at system level.
Key learning points:
- The impact of disconnected data: How data silos obscure the link between procurement choices and patient recovery, leading to missed opportunities for efficiency and hidden long-term costs
- A practical blueprint for value analytics: Using NJR and joint replacement case studies to show how integrating clinical registry data with spend analytics supports better clinical practice and a multi-dimensional view of value
- From passive collection to active intelligence: How a combined data approach supports proactive, system-wide productivity and value-based care in line with national direction
Meet the NEC Health team at Stand C05
Our stand (C05), located on the main route to the Digital Transformation Stage, will showcase how NEC Health’s connected ecosystem supports organisations to get ahead of health. Throughout the event, you can meet specialists from across the NEC Health connected ecosystem to talk about:
- Prevention and early detection through national screening software and services
- Getting patients to the right care first time with intelligent referral optimisation
- Personalised patient pathways that identify risk early and support better preparation and recovery
- Understanding what works at scale through registries and real-world evidence
- Linking outcomes with spend to support value-based decision making
- Designing healthcare services through user-centred design
Book a meeting with the team via the Rewired event app, or visit Stand C05 during the conference.
