The UK possesses a unique 60 million-person-strong data asset but #NHS data are still fragmented, siloed and of variable quality. Like 20th-century efforts to connect & manage the national grid, policymakers need a strategic plan to create data stores and amp up connections. TBI has previously called for a Digital Health Record and a National Data Trust but these are not silver bullets and require several pre-conditions, including public trust, data governance and the right data infrastructure. As a first step to unlock the value of data in the NHS, TBI is working with Joe Zhang to map where data at a national scale is generated, extracted and used. The aim is to improve the quality of public conversation and policies on health data and build public trust through increased transparency.

The #NHS is facing long waits, poor outcomes and record-low rates of public satisfaction. Investing in technology may not seem like the priority but without it, nothing will change. Globally, Digital Health Records (DHRs) are fast becoming the foundational building block of all modern health systems, changing the way we generate health and consume healthcare in the AI era. By embracing a DHR, the #NHS can be prepared for the #AI era – enabling patients and clinicians to take advantage of cutting-edge developments in digital technology, pharma and biotech, and AI as they emerge. Learn more about why we’re advocating for a DHR from Dr Charlotte Refsum, Adam Bradshaw, Oliver Large and Darcy Ward: https://bit.ly/4dQ8oLP #healthcare #NHS #GPs #innovation #technology

Is it time for a digital health record? With so much pressure facing the NHS right now, it might seem that investment in data infrastructure isn’t the priority. But TBI’s Dr Charlotte Refsum explains how AI can support GPs by enhancing productivity, reducing workloads and providing more personalised care. Read our latest paper, calling for the introduction of digital health records for every citizen: https://bit.ly/4dQ8oLP

Both #AI and #climatechange are not held back by borders. That means the answer to harnessing the positive loop between them is to foster international collaboration. This will not only ensure consistency between regional and international standards but also shortcut learning, efficiently allocate R&D funding and encourage best practices.

In the UK, 2.8 million people are economically inactive due to long-term sickness. With an ageing population and associated increase in chronic diseases, the UK is in danger of slipping into a vicious circle of worsening health that places ever more pressure on health budgets. To break the cycle of declining health, weak economic growth and constrained health budgets, the government must prioritise preventative health care– keeping people healthier and enabling longer working lives. To investigate the importance of investing in preventative health care to drive economic growth, TBI experts Ines Hassan and Roshni Joshi collaborated with Professor Andrew J Scott, Professor Sir John Bell, Tamsin Berry, Professor John Deanfield, and Yannick Schindler.

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change is growing across Latin America and the Caribbean! I recently traveled with our Executive Chairman to meet some of our teams in the region, including in Brazil, Guyana, Grenada, and the Dominican Republic. Along the way we talked about our shared work: from climate financing and health technology to AI's potential to transform public sector services. I’m proud to be part of this team and of our early work supporting leaders to get big things done - and I'm now more energized by the potential scale of impact we can achieve together as we grow. 🚀

Governments are at a unique technological inflection point – with recent advancements in #AI providing immense potential to catalyse digital transformation and propel economic growth. The presence of malicious actors using AI to attack public services for financial and other rewards creates a multi-faceted challenge: how can governments accelerate the digital economy, drive economic participation through inclusion and enhance service delivery without compromising citizens’ privacy or data protection? The solution: digital ID. Digital ID promotes socioeconomic growth through participation, modernisation, innovation, personalisation and efficiency in public services. While this does not come without risks, harnessing the opportunities of digital ID will be transformational in creating a reimagined state. Learn more about how leaders can harness the opportunities and mitigate the risks associated with digital ID ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3Swr3nK #digitalid #technology #innovation #growth #development

20th-century government is not working in the 21st century. The UK needs a new approach built around the one factor that can kickstart productivity growth, raise living standards and improve the public finances: technological progress. Over a decade, embracing #AI has the potential to add 10-16% to Britain’s cumulative #GDP – significantly improving the fiscal state of the country by increasing efficiencies and boosting productivity.

It's been just over a month since Hurricane Beryl wreaked havoc here in #Grenada and across the #Caribbean. We're proud at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change to have pivoted quickly to support Grenada's Prime Minister and the disaster response, and mobilised our global partners. Some reflections here from me on what we and our partners achieved, and a nice shot of my colleague Silvana Amaya handing over Starlink kits to the Prime Minister while I was out of town!
