The Digital Aspirant programme, established by NHSX in February 2020, aims to close the gap in levels of digital maturity across NHS trusts.
The allocated funding is intended to support trusts in their digital transformation. Encouraging trusts to reach and deliver a set of core capabilities in digitisation, therefore, closing gaps in digital maturity across health and care settings.
Over the coming years leading up to 2024, further members of the Digital Aspirant programme will be announced in waves.
“This programme is designed to help providers and systems use digital technology to transform the services they offer.
The Digital Aspirant programme will support them by helping them invest in the technology they need to do this.”
The Digital Aspirants programme builds on initiatives such as the Global Digital Exemplar programme and the Minimum Viable Solution of Shared Care Records. Recognising that procurement and deployment of technology is crucial in satisfying the need for digital transformation across health and care.
The Global Digital Exemplar programme leads from the front in encouraging digital transformation within the NHS. Global Digital Exemplars are NHS providers who are recognised for their excellence in quality of care through world-class use of digital technologies and information. Selected digitally advanced exemplar trusts share their learning and experiences through blueprints. Allowing other trusts to follow in their footsteps as quickly and effectively as possible.
The Minimum Viable Solution of a Shared Care Record is required to be in place by September 2021 across the NHS. The NHSX initiative aims to ensure clinicians can access patient data in real-time across the patient journey. Saving time, lives, and improving patient care pathways. This initiative aligns with the Digital Aspirants programme’s aims to raise the baseline of digital uptake and core standards of electronic patient record sharing within the UK.

The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasised the need for digital transformation across the NHS. Acting as a catalyst for advances in technology utilisation across health and care settings. Therefore, by supporting trusts in the uptake of technology, the Digital Aspirant programme promotes improvements in productivity by clinicians, and better provision of quality patient care.
