WSP’s Positive Impact Podcast

In this episode, we explore how digital transformation is creating smarter healthcare, from the corridors of NHS hospitals to the counters of local pharmacies and GP surgeries.

Our host Lucy Siegle is joined by Cara Williams, Chief Information Officer, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust and Kevin Sureshkumar, Technical Director, Digital Transformation, WSP. They unpack how digitisation is not just about technology but about enabling better outcomes, more personalised care, and a more resilient health system.

You’ll hear about the world-class digital innovations being developed for new hospitals, while also learning what existing hospitals can do to use digital to make estates and care smarter. We’ll also spotlight the importance of inclusive design and digital access in community settings, ensuring no one is left behind in the shift to smarter, more connected care.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of the NHS, this episode offers a hopeful and practical look at how digital innovation is delivering real-world impact, one patient, one service, one community at a time.
