We kick start 2026 with a visit from two superstar nurse leaders, to talk about the themes of compassionate leadership and person-centred care in the context of digital nursing change.

Natasha’s also been discussing the emergence of a new era for sustainable wearables in health, and catching-up on exciting news about Amazon’s new “agentic” AI offer for health, which promises patients lifelike automated interactions to help improve access to care – plus there’s an update on news about how you can help steer the MHRA, as it decides what should be the new UK approach for managing AI in health tech.

With the launch of Microsoft’s ambient AI for nursing offer – we’re asking what AVT means for nurses. Will we all be walking the wards wearing microphones soon? Will there be an Alexa at every bedside helping us get admin done? Find out more about our upcoming webinar that will deep dive into these questions and more. And with the new year just around the corner, Natasha is reflecting on the year gone, also asking what might be big in digital nursing in 2026 – including finding out more about digitising medicines administration, which offers us the potential to both improve patient safety and release nurse time to care.
