NHS England at HETT Show: National Voices Leading the Future of Health and Care

Following recent organisational changes within NHS England, the role of national leadership in shaping the future of health and care has never been more significant. As systems evolve and responsibilities shift, there’s a growing need for clarity, continuity, and collaboration. That’s why the presence of NHS England voices at HETT Show 2025 is so important. 

From policy direction and digital infrastructure to innovation, sustainability, and patient access, NHS England leaders are driving real-world change across the sector. This October, we’re proud to welcome a lineup of expert speakers from NHS England who are not only influencing national strategy but also delivering practical solutions across frontline services. 

These sessions are a unique opportunity to hear directly from the people at the centre of transformation, and to explore how their work connects with your challenges, priorities, and ambitions.
