Across June 2026, NHS organisations and industry partners advanced a series of digital and infrastructure programmes aimed at strengthening how care is delivered, managed and scaled across services.
From large-scale interoperability programmes and new national imaging initiatives to point-of-care communication tools and data-driven decision support, the month highlighted a continued shift towards more connected, automated and patient-centred digital infrastructure across health and care.
AI and digital transformation
