Our Personalised Care at Scale hub is designed to help NHS organisations embed personalised care training across their organisation.

By embedding personalised care, which our recent report, A New Dawn for the NHS, found is not fully embedded across the NHS, health and care teams can ensure their services are tailored to individuals needs, which will lead to better outcomes and reduced costs.

At the heart of the hub is an expert webinar series, available on demand, which shows how two leading NHS organisations – the GP Excellence Programme in Greater Manchester and Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board – used personalised care training to tackle regional priorities, improve health outcomes, and strengthen workforce development.

Millions of people live with multiple conditions and yet the nature of general practice can mean that, often, these conditions are reviewed separately. This can result in less holistic care and may cause people to feel they have little opportunity to discuss the broader healthcare problems that matter most to them.

In an upcoming webinar, Chris Salisbury, Emeritus Professor of Primary Care and Rachel Johnson, Associate Professor in Primary Care, both at the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol, will demonstrate how practices can instead conduct integrated, personalised reviews of all the patient's conditions together, what tools exist to do so, and how this approach improves outcomes for patients and staff.

Date: Friday 3 October. 📅

Time: 12:00 to 13:00.⏰

Meet Dr Jessica Morley, Assistant Director of the Digital Ethics Centre at Yale University and Associate Editor of BMJ Digital Health. 👋

Dr Morley will lead a session on using AI to build person-centred systems at our flagship annual conference - ‘Shaping the Future: The Role of Digital Health for Personalised Care’.

In her session, ‘From Optimisation to Flourishing: Reframing AI for Personalised, Person-Centred Care’, Dr Morley will introduce an alternative approach to AI in healthcare: one that moves away from narrow individual optimisation and toward enabling people, systems, and communities to flourish.

Drawing on the latest research in public health, ethics, and system design, Dr Morley argues that reframing AI as a ‘systems companion’ can improve decision-making, reduce over-medicalisation, and deliver care that is more meaningful to patients, while addressing real world complexities.

Dr Morley is one of many expert speakers lined up to discuss the opportunities and the challenges of using technology to deliver personalised care as part of Personalised Care Week 2025 - taking place Monday 22 September to Thursday 25 September. 📅

If new technology is to succeed in transforming care for the better, it must be responsibly implemented and trusted.

In ‘AI, tech, and data in health care: what do the public and NHS staff think?’ Ahmed Binesmael, Senior Improvement Analyst at The Health Foundation, will share research on public and health and care professional attitudes towards technology like AI.

He will also discuss what organisations people trust with their data, and what kind of activities they are willing to engage in to support the development of technologies in health and care.
