Many NHS organisations are exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot, investing in licences, or looking to demonstrate value from existing deployments. Yet successful adoption requires far more than simply assigning licences. The greatest outcomes are achieved when technology is supported by strong governance, clear use cases, user enablement, executive sponsorship and ongoing measurement.

Join ANS for a practical session exploring what Copilot adoption looks like in a real NHS environment. Through an open discussion, attendees will gain insight into the opportunities, challenges and lessons involved in turning Copilot from a licensed technology into an embedded way of working.

This session will explore how NHS organisations can build the right foundations for safe, effective and measurable adoption, helping teams reduce administrative burden, improve collaboration and unlock greater value from their Microsoft investments.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the adoption journey, practical steps to take within your own organisation, and a framework for moving from interest and experimentation to sustained impact.

Why Attend?

Whether you’re evaluating Microsoft 365 Copilot, launching a pilot, or looking to improve adoption and licence utilisation, this session will help you:

• Understand how to maximise value from existing or planned Copilot investments.
• Gain practical insights you can apply within your own Trust.
• Benchmark your organisation’s approach against NHS peers.
