NHS leaders face mounting pressure to make tough choices about where to invest and what to protect. But clarity is impossible without confidence in the information that underpins those decisions. Today, up to half of waiting list records contain data quality errors, impacting how care is delivered to the millions of patients who have been referred for care, but are still waiting for their very first clinical contact – the “frontlog,” which is invisible in national reporting.

This session will show how inaccurate data undermines patient satisfaction, performance, and trust, and how leaders can build grip through continuous validation and intelligent infrastructure. Drawing on real-world NHS examples, we’ll explore how cleaner data supports informed decision-making, financial resilience, and restores confidence for patients, staff, and boards alike – key for digital transformation, and the use of AI in healthcare, to succeed.

AI has promised much over the last couple of years, yet we hear the challenges being faced on a daily basis, however successful process design that integrates AI starts with a clear focus on the problem, not the technology. Our experience of using a user centred design approach shows that successful AI adoption begins by understanding pain points, desired outcomes, and user needs. From there, using design thinking principles and rigorous academic validation allows teams to collaboratively explore, prototype, and refine solutions that are both practical and human centred. This approach ensures the AI is embedded within real workflows, enhances rather than replaces human input, and delivers measurable value. By aligning feasibility with desirability, and technology with purpose, we create processes where AI becomes a natural extension of how work gets done – smarter and more seamless.
