How to engage with us
We are working to build an environment in which the NHS and healthtech companies can work effectively together and exchange ideas, knowledge and skills.
We engage with industry in a variety of ways. Our events and activities provide opportunities for suppliers to establish productive relationship with industry experts, our programme and delivery teams and members of the wider healthtech community.
We run workshops throughout the year where we share the plans and objectives of our programmes and get feedback from industry on our approach and its impact on suppliers and the market.
We run working groups that contribute directly to our teams’ work. We also run webinars and requests for information (RFI). These help industry plan, prepare for potential opportunities and provide input into our products and services.
Our senior leaders also speak at and attend many industry-led conferences and events.

Industry Partners
In 2017, NHS Digital and techUK signed a strategic partnership. Our aim is to work together to help industry plan and prepare for potential opportunities and work effectively with us to create great digital products and services. We also want suppliers to help shape the scope of our delivery and how we approach the digital transformation of health and care in England.
We have jointly delivered over 50 engagement events in a wide range of locations and formats and these events are open to all suppliers.
Events and opportunities
We run webinars, open days and other events that will give you insights into our work and allow you to contribute to the discussion about our plans.
During this period of uncertainty, we are adapting the ways we engage and will keep you updated on any changes on these pages or through our bulletin.
