Find out what NHS leaders really think
What is The NHS Digital Reality report?
NHS leaders told us the truth about digital transformation. Only 2% think it’s achievable.
The NHS’s 10-Year Health Plan sets a bold digital ambition. Hospital to community. Treatment to prevention. Analogue to digital.
Reform only works if information moves safely across every step of that journey.
What NHS leaders told us
2% believe:
their digital roadmap is fully achievable in three years.
8% believe:
the NHS has enough digital leadership to deliver its reform ambitions.
36% say:
digitisation is moving, but too slowly to meet expectations.
27% admit:
if your technology needs a workaround, it isn’t working
24% say:
funding, not ambition, is what’s really blocking progress.
It’s a 2026 survey of senior NHS leaders and CIOs, run by Restore Information Management with Health Tech News. It reveals what NHS organisations really think about digital transformation, including funding, leadership and legacy system barriers.
The results show that successful digitisation depends on how effectively information moves through the patient pathway – and that should be a prime focus as we takethe next step on the journey.
