At the Forefront of NHS Digital Innovation: The Top 100 People and Companies 2025 Revealed

By
Distilled Post Editorial Team

Distilled Post has announced the Top 100 People and Companies Delivering to the NHS and UK Healthcare in 2025, recognising the innovators and leaders who are redefining how care is delivered across the UK.

This year’s honourees represent the extraordinary range of innovation and leadership shaping the NHS. Global figures such as Judith Faulkner, founder and CEO of Epic Systems, and Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, appear alongside UK-based leaders including Sir Jim Mackey, Chief Executive of NHS England, Samantha Jones OBE, Permanent Secretary at the Department of Health and Social Care, and Birju Bartoli, Chief Executive of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Collectively, they reflect the breadth of change under way, from digital infrastructure and AI-powered systems to new models of care and service design.

The report highlights how these individuals and companies are advancing the use of electronic patient records, deploying artificial intelligence to speed up diagnosis, and embedding remote monitoring and digital therapeutics into mainstream care. Their work is reshaping the way services are delivered, how patients and clinicians interact, and how the NHS adapts to rising demand, workforce pressures, and growing systemic complexity.

Among the entrepreneurs recognised are Orlando Agrippa of Sanius Health, whose patient-led ecosystem is rethinking chronic and rare disease pathways, and Marc Warner of Faculty, whose AI capabilities are supporting the NHS to make faster, data-driven decisions at scale. Together, the honourees demonstrate how bold ideas, implemented at scale, can deliver measurable improvements in outcomes, efficiency, and resilience.

The 2025 Top 100 is more than a celebration of achievement. It is a snapshot of where NHS digital innovation is heading, and a call to continue investing in the people, partnerships, and technologies that will define the future of healthcare in the UK.
