How do you feel about using digital tools to support service improvements in the NHS?

Improving productivity in healthcare by using digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools will be explored at an Innovation Exchange event in September 2025. The event will showcase promising innovations that could solve key challenges in our local health organisations. Following the event, Health Innovation East Midlands (HIEM) will help organisations to test and use these innovations to improve patient care.

We want to showcase health innovations in areas where you think productivity improvements could be made. You are welcome to share your thoughts on where digital and AI solutions could help and give your feelings about using these sorts of innovations to help provide your health care.

We’d like to invite you to give us your views by completing this short survey: https://forms.office.com/e/5T3aKnqW6g

The survey should take you around ten minutes to complete. Please feel free to share the link with friends, family or patient groups within the East Midlands area.

Please note that the survey will close on Friday 27th June to give us time to review the responses.

Many thanks for sharing your views and taking part in our survey.
