In this State of the Nation episode of AXREM Insights, Sally Edgington and guest presenter Ehren Pawley are joined by Huw Shurmer, Chair of AXREM, and Jeevan Gunaratnam, Vice Chair, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing UK healthcare.

The conversation reflects on the findings of AXREM’s State of the Nation Report, authored by the Future Leaders Council, which highlights issues such as governance reforms, outdated technology, and the complexities of embedding AI in the NHS. The guests discuss how innovation, smarter procurement, and closer collaboration between industry, government and clinicians can help to protect patient safety while improving productivity.

The episode also looks at the future of cancer care, digital transformation and the role of medtech suppliers in enabling prevention, community-based services, and AI-driven efficiencies. Referencing AXREM’s AI Manifesto and the Cyber Security Strategy, the panel emphasise the need for trust, responsible adoption and long-term investment. Listeners are encouraged to engage with AXREM’s work and see how industry collaboration can support the NHS to deliver better outcomes for patients now and in the years ahead.
