Definition

Digital Health Rewired is the United Kingdom's largest dedicated digital health conference and exhibition, organised by Digital Health, a media brand within CloserStill Media, and held at the NEC in Birmingham. It convenes NHS digital leadership, including chief information officers, chief clinical information officers and chief nursing information officers, alongside clinicians, health-tech vendors and start-ups. The programme runs across multiple themed stages covering electronic patient records, integrated care, artificial intelligence, cyber security and digital leadership, drawing around 4,000 attendees and more than 300 speakers, and is free to attend for NHS and public-sector staff.

What Digital Health Rewired is for

Rewired exists to move the digital transformation of the NHS forward in one place. Its programme is built around the operational priorities of NHS organisations, from electronic patient record deployment to the safe adoption of clinical AI, and its audience is the NHS digital community itself rather than a general commercial crowd. The free NHS admission and the strong chief information and clinical information officer presence make it the meeting point for the people responsible for NHS digital strategy, with a health-tech exhibition alongside.

Who attends Digital Health Rewired

What Digital Health Rewired covers programmatically

The conference runs across themed stages:

Programme tracks and special formats

Rewired is organised as multiple parallel stages, each devoted to a theme such as AI, cyber security, integrated care or EPR optimisation, alongside an exhibition floor and a start-up programme for early-stage health-tech companies.

Notable speakers

The programme is led by NHS digital leadership and clinical informatics figures, with the full 2027 line-up confirmed closer to the event.

FAQ · Identity and audience

Is Digital Health Rewired only for the NHS?

In practice it is NHS-anchored. The audience is largely NHS and public-sector digital leadership and clinicians, and the content is built around NHS priorities. Commercial vendors attend to reach that audience, and admission is free for NHS and public-sector staff.

How does it differ from HETT Show or GIANT Health?

All three are UK NHS-focused, but they differ in timing and emphasis. Rewired is the digital-transformation and clinical-informatics event in March at the NEC, with a strong chief information officer community. HETT is a September ExCeL exhibition and GIANT Health a December innovation festival. Rewired sits closest to the NHS digital leadership and EPR agenda.

Who is Digital Health Rewired NOT designed for?
  • Vendors with no NHS-relevant digital offering
  • Teams seeking a pan-European or global audience
  • Investors looking primarily for a startup-and-capital matchmaking event
  • Specialty clinicians seeking continuing medical education unrelated to digital health
  • Consumer health brands without a clinical or NHS remit
