Central Gov Partnership Network

Supporting collaboration & innovation in central government

The Central Government Partnership Network (CGPN) 2025 will bring together senior leaders across central government to reflect on the significant digital strides already achieved, with a particular focus on areas such as digital transformation, data strategy, and AI adoption. While great progress has been made, the path ahead requires an ongoing commitment to overcome the challenges posed by legacy systems, foster greater cross-departmental collaboration, and harness the full potential of emerging technologies.

Digital adoption in government is not just about technology; it’s about leadership, vision, and empowering people to drive change. As public sector leaders face multiple challenges, now is the ideal moment to rethink the ways we work and to lay the groundwork for future innovation. CGPN 2025 will provide a platform for reimagining public service delivery, exploring how digital transformation can drive efficiency, productivity, and inclusivity across central government, and ultimately improve outcomes for citizens.

Topics that will be discussed at CGPN include:

Digital Transformation & Modernisation
AI Adoption and Ethics
Data-Driven Decision Making
Cross-Sector Collaboration
Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience
Service Transformation and Innovation
Leadership and Culture in Digital Transformation

TESTIMONIALS

I need to make myself available to learn what other trusts are doing, while being present in my own trust.

Lisa Emery
CIO

Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
I believe it is incumbent upon all of us as senior health leaders to offer strategic direction, that goes without saying. But we also need to amplify curiosity, agility and a passion to improve, fostering commitment in the art of the possible.

Jonathan Lofthouse
Site CEO

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
The only thing that’s going to be constant now is change. Trusts and staff need to be ready for whatever the future brings and sharing best practice between trusts, safely, is an important part of the solution.

James Devine
CEO

Medway NHS Foundation Trust
As NHS trusts, the need to collaborate and learn from each other has never been stronger. But neither has our need to reduce unnecessary social interaction as a society.

Paul Bytheway
Chief Operating Officer

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Foundation Trust
Events like the Healthcare Partnership Network are really important in bringing together senior leaders both from the industry and from the NHS, because you can start to see the connections that people are making. There’s a lot of synergy and energy around being able to look at a product a company has to offer and being able to relate that to what happens in the NHS.

Paula Head
Chief Executive

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
