Collaboration is key to leverage digital enabling solutions across our financially challenged NHS (HSJ, 28 May 2025)

Summary

The NHS must focus on collaboration to reap the benefits of digital solutions, writes Dr Pooven Maduramuthu, healthcare industry lead, UKI at DXC Technology.

The NHS is currently facing significant challenges, including resource constraints, fragmented systems, and increasing demands for high-quality patient care. Digital enabling solutions have the potential to address these issues by improving interoperability, streamlining processes, and enhancing patient outcomes. However, to fully realise these benefits, the NHS must prioritise collaboration. By working together, NHS organisations can leverage existing investments, reduce implementation costs, and benefit from economies of scale. This collaborative approach ensures that digital solutions are not only effective but also sustainable and scalable across the healthcare system.
