Prof Stephen Powis confirmed as Rewired 2025 keynote

Professor Sir Stephen Powis, national medical director at NHS England, has been confirmed as the latest keynote speaker for Digital Health Rewired 2025.

Prof Powis’ instrumental work in integrating technology into the NHS includes championing the use of digital to revamp outpatient services, AI to improve diagnostics, virtual wards to relieve hospital pressures, and enhanced data sharing to support a single patient record via the NHS App.

In his debut Rewired appearance, Powis will take part in a fireside chat on the Integrated Care Stage, discussing how to support innovation throughout the NHS and the role digital will play in the government’s 10-year health plan.

He will then join the Innovation Stage to support National Innovation Accelerator fellows at their 2025 launch event.

Powis joins fellow national keynotes Ming Tang, chief data and analytics officer at NHS England and Professor Joe Harrison, national director of the NHS App.

Newly appointed NHS national chief clinical information officer Dr Alec Price-Forbes and national chief nursing information officer Helen Balsdon will also speak at the UK’s biggest and best digital health conference and exhibition.
