Current Landscape and Challenges

The adoption of Electronic Patient Records has rapidly become a critical priority for the NHS and healthcare providers across the UK. With a national mandate for all Trusts to implement EPR systems by 2026, healthcare organisations are navigating complex challenges such as system integration, data security, clinical workflows, and health equity.

While early adopters have demonstrated success, many Trusts continue to grapple with outdated processes, fragmented data, and under-optimised digital tools, which highlight the ongoing need for robust solutions and strategic partnerships.

Timeliness of the Event

The 2025 EPR Summit, building on the success of the first summit held in June 2024, comes at a pivotal time for the healthcare sector. As the deadline for EPR adoption approaches, the need for timely, actionable insights has never been greater. The event offers a unique opportunity to discuss the progress, setbacks, and innovations shaping EPR implementation nationwide. The overwhelming demand for the 2024 event underscores the critical nature of these discussions and reinforces the necessity of continued dialogue as we approach the 2026 deadline.

Key Topics

  • The summit will explore a wide array of topics vital to the future of EPRs, including:
  • The national landscape and progression of EPR deployments across Trusts.
  • Strategies to optimise EPR systems based on clinical requirements and user needs.
  • Enhancing data quality and accessibility to drive better patient outcomes.
  • Addressing health inequalities through improved digital access and system integration.
  • Exploring the impact of EPRs on operational efficiency, patient safety, and workforce productivity.
  • Leveraging emerging technologies to support EPR evolution and sustainability.

Why Attend

  • The 2025 EPR Summit is an essential event for anyone involved in healthcare digital transformation. It offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and innovation. Here’s why attending is critical:
  • Engagement with Key Decision-Makers: With over 400 senior stakeholders, including CIOs, CCIOs, and Directors of Digital from across the UK, this is the premier event to engage directly with the leaders driving EPR adoption.
  • Cutting-Edge Insights: Gain access to expert-led discussions that explore the latest trends, challenges, and innovations in EPRs.
  • Sponsorship Opportunities: As a sponsor, you will benefit from high visibility and the opportunity to showcase your solutions to healthcare organisations at varying stages of their EPR journey.
  • Exclusive Networking: Connect with potential clients, partners, and key decision-makers during the event’s dedicated networking sessions, building valuable relationships that can drive your business forward.
