In this episode of Digital Health Unplugged, Charlotte Refsum, director of health policy at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, explains why a single patient record is becoming increasingly important in the age of AI. Refsum tells Tammy Lovell, editor at Digital Health News, that as AI, data and digital technologies begin to reshape health systems, data unification is critical to support safer care, new models of delivery and a fundamentally different way of running the NHS. Drawing on her experience from the UK and health systems around the world, Refsum reflects on how digital could enable more integrated and preventative care, empower people to better manage their own health, and change the way patients interact with services through tools such as the NHS App. The conversation also explores the challenges standing in the way of this vision, including data sharing, public trust, interoperability and legacy systems, as well as discussing what to expect from the NHS 10 year health plan. Refsum will be delivering a keynote at Digital Health Rewired, to give her views on what comes next in the NHS's shift to digitisation and prevention. The event is taking place at the Birmingham NEC on 24-25 March 2026. Free for NHS, public sector, charities, research and education. Commercial tickets start from £769+VAT. Register here. Guest: Charlotte Refsum, director of health policy at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change  

In the first episode Digital Health Unplugged episode of the year, Beverley Bryant, chief digital officer (CDO) across three trusts in Dorset, reflects on her involvement in a national rapid review of electronic patient record (EPR) programmes across acute NHS trusts. Bryant, who is CDO at University Hospitals Dorset, Dorset County Hospital and Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trusts,  joins Unplugged host Jordan Sollof to discuss the challenges organisations face at different stages of EPR implementation, and the considerations NHS leaders need to weigh as they move from planning to go-live and beyond. She shares how those insights are informing Dorset's own EPR programme, as part of a county-wide digital strategy. The conversation goes on to explore the realities of AI adoption in healthcare, lessons learned from the Synnovis cyber attack, the balance between national digital priorities and local delivery, and why digital transformation needs to be owned beyond IT teams. Bryant also looks ahead to speaking at Digital Health Rewired 2026, which takes place at the Birmingham NEC on 24-25 March, where she will be joined on stage by Siobhan Harrington, chief executive at University Hospitals Dorset. Register here. Guest: Beverley Bryant, chief digital officer for Dorset Providers - University Hospitals Dorset, Dorset County Hospital and Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trusts  

In the latest episode of Digital Health Unplugged, Paul Jones, chief digital information officer (CDIO) at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, delves into the details of the 10 year health plan. In conversation with Jordan Sollof, podcast host, Jones discusses the digital ambitions in the government's 10 year plan and why they should not be treated as "a silver bullet" for efficiency. He also shares his views on plans for the single patient record, the federated data platform, and the use of AI in the NHS, before sharing the technology he's most excited about at Leeds. Jones also discusses the independent inquiry into repeated maternity failings at Leeds Teaching Hospitals and explains what the trust is doing to improve the service and how digital can support. Finally, he looks ahead to speaking at Digital Health Rewired 2026, which takes place at the Birmingham NEC on 24-25 March, and gives listeners a taste of what he'll be talking about at the event.

W/C 15th July 2024This song comes from an album called The Bridge which was released in 1986. By the time it came out I had become a bit of a devotee of Mr Joel, having borrowed most of his back catalogue from the Denman Library in Retford and recorded them onto TDK C90s.The Bridge was the first album of new material I took any interest in, and the tour for the album was the first time I got to see him perform live at the Birmingham NEC the following year.Even though he doesn't consider it to be one of his best, and actually that it was an unhappy album to make, I have a soft spot for it - we even covered Big Man on Mulberry Street in a band I played with at school.Stay safe.A Matter of Trust - Billy JoelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

Live from the Birmingham NEC, it's Of Dice and Them! Our heroes are joined by special guest Paul Foxcroft of Questing Time in a particularly nonsensical and D&D-lite adventure, even for them.   Special thanks to Paul (@paulfoxcroft) for guesting and making the show particularly difficult for Jack, and to the wonderful Jess Jewell (@doctorbees) for helping in numerous ways during, and in the weeks leading up to, the show.   Due to less than ideal recording conditions (i.e. thousands of adoring fans in a cavernous auditorium), the audio quality is less than stellar. For those who can overlook this, enjoy some non-canon nonsense. For those with more delicate audio sensibilities, we'll get them next time, true believers!   Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ofdiceandthem Or on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ofdiceandthem Find our credits at: https://ofdiceandthem.com/credits Or find more episodes at: https://feed.ofdiceandthem.com

Barrie Cadogan is not only one of the most talented and well-respected guitarists around, having played with Primal Scream, Johnny Marr, The The, Steve Mason, Texas and, of course, Paul Weller - he also fronts his own band - Little Barrie. A classic British power trio in the lineage of Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Little Barrie started off as a solo guise for Barrie, using the nickname given to him aged 14 by a mate's dad in Nottingham.  The band first supported Paul Weller in 2002 - with gigs including the Birmingham NEC and Hyde Park's Route of Kings. He's played on 22 Dreams, Wake Up The Nation and True Meanings whilst also joining the Weller live line up on numerous occasions for gigs and radio sessions.

“Is the rest of the year pretty quiet?” is one of the most common questions Steve Morgan - MD Active Division from Raccoon Events gets when he tells people he organises the National Snow Snow. “Ahhhhh???,……No” is the usual response. This year's show (Oct 23-24th Birmingham NEC) had the ups and downs of Covid to deal with and kept Steve busy for well over a year trying to bring this vision to us all. In this episode Steve and I have the opportunity to talk about all aspects of the National Snow Show, why people should attend and what the 3 pillars of the show are. Aside from finding out who he thinks is a Legend,….. we find out where he wants to go on his FIRST overseas Snowboarding Trip. Many thanks to our sponsor DEWERSTONE Clothing.
