NHS Data & AI Literacy Report

Data and AI skills are now the NHS’s defining transformation challenge.

The NHS has made unprecedented investments in digital systems — from comprehensive EPRs to shared data infrastructure like the FDP.

But systems only create potential. Impact depends on people.

For the NHS to achieve the ambitions set out in the Fit for the Future: 10 Year Health Plan, Trusts need staff at all levels — from board to ward — who can interrogate and act on data, redesign workflows using analytics, and use AI tools safely and effectively in daily practice.
