The Evidence Network at NHS ConfedExpo 2026
23/06/2026The NHS does not need more isolated data. It needs real-world clinical evidence that moves across the system.
That was the message that came through most clearly at NHS ConfedExpo 2026, one of the most significant events in the UK healthcare calendar. Promptly Health joined national and international delegates for two days of discussion on the priorities shaping the future of healthcare: trusted data sharing, population health management, AI adoption in the NHS, and outcomes that matter to patients.
Across every conversation, one theme remained constant: real transformation requires connecting people, systems and evidence, without adding complexity.
The Evidence Network: built for exactly this challenge
The Evidence Network is a federated platform that connects real-world clinical data across hospitals, clinics and care settings, enabling research, innovation and outcome measurement while keeping data where it belongs.
Today, the network represents 70 million lives across Europe, connects 25+ data partners and 400+ hospitals and clinics, and delivers structured, OMOP-ready data in weeks, not months.
The federated model means data never leaves local servers. A researcher queries the network, each site runs the query locally, and only aggregated results come back. Patients stay protected. Organisations stay in control of what gets shared, with who, and when.
NHS ConfedExpo 2026 reinforced what Promptly Health hears consistently from health systems across the UK: the demand for more connected, trustworthy real-world evidence is significant. What has been missing is a practical and trusted infrastructure to act on it.
Two days of insight and new connections
Across two days, the Promptly Health team held new conversations with national and international delegates and reconnected with partners approaching the same challenges from different directions. The discussions confirmed that this community is ready to move from ambition to action.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and to seeing the community again at NHS ConfedExpo 2027.
