This initiative is designed to facilitate focused interactions within NHS settings, allowing for comprehensive discussions across various roles in a single day.
Key Highlights of the Elevate Series:
- First event held at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust attracted over 500 staff from diverse roles including executives, clinicians, and frontline workers.
- At least 10 NHS providers are planning to host Elevate events in the upcoming year, following the success of the initial showcase.
- The initiative aims to align technology solutions with local NHS priorities, enhancing the digital strategy and improving patient care.
Engagement and Feedback
NHS leaders and staff have expressed enthusiasm for the Elevate series, noting its potential to:
- Facilitate direct conversations between staff and technology vendors.
- Expose staff to innovative solutions that can enhance their work and patient care.
- Shape the digital strategy for NHS organizations by integrating real-time feedback from users.

The next Elevate event is scheduled for May 13, 2026, hosted by the Bristol NHS Group, which will engage staff from multiple organizations within the integrated care system. Technology suppliers are encouraged to register early to secure their participation.
