As digital technologies continue to reshape healthcare, Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O) must critically examine what “digital” truly means for professional practice, workforce development, and patient care. The discussion will consider digital technology not as a replacement for clinical skill, craftsmanship, or professional judgement, but as a refinement and extension of the existing P&O skill set. Set against the backdrop of the NHS 10-Year Plan (2025–2035), Fit for the Future—which places technology at the centre of healthcare transformation and a shift from “analogue to digital”—the session will examine what this direction means specifically for P&O services. As the NHS seeks to reduce administrative burden, enable new ways of working, and empower patients through digital pathways, the profession must begin to reimagine what contemporary practice looks like.
