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.

How far along are we with the big shift from hospital to community? We ask CNIOs from each of the two settings. And we find out more about the WHO’s workforce optimisation plan and their call for case studies on exemplar innovation projects to help you make your submissions. We have loads of dates for your diary, and you’ve probably heard about Ambient Voice Technology, but we’re finding out more about Voice AI which monitors patient speech for diagnostic markers and asking how it can help nurses.

We’re addressing two of the hottest topics in nurse tech this month – safely deploying ambient AI technology in nursing and trialling live language translation tech in out-of-hospital settings. Natasha finds out how one NHS acute Trust is revolutionising the way documentation is created in outpatients, with listening technology that’s saving staff hours in admin time. And we meet the Ambulance Service that has been testing a live translation device when emergency calls take them to patients who don’t have English as a first language. Experts from our community share their fascinating insights! Plus we have the usual round-up of news in nurse tech and a look forward at key events in the coming month.

Joined by nurse Matthew Wynne, author of “The Nightingale Effect”, Natasha is preparing for this evening’s Florence Nightingale Commemoration Service at Westminster Abbey, reflecting on how Florence is still very much relevant today and examining how she gives us confidence to drive our digital future. We're also talking about digitising nurse guidance and education as Natasha launches an exciting new initiative and issues a call for trailblazing pilot sites. It’s a busy month ahead for nursing tech events and the show is packed with diary dates and opportunities to get involved.
