E17 - Live from Leeds, NICE health tech mandates, headsets for mental health

We’re live in Yorkshire at the HETT Leaders Summit 2026, experiencing local focus with national relevance - and Damian is well out of his Essex comfort zone. Find out more about the big changes at NICE in the way they will be assessing, and actually mandating, health technology in the same way they do pharmaceuticals. Plus, we’re covering more about mental health tech, like we promised, and we’ve got a couple of great case studies ranging from simple tech enabled support services to highly scientific brain stimulating headsets that help people to feel great again. There’s a trip to the pub, catch-ups with the Leeds crew, some general giddyness, our best sound track yet, Northern News and an AI slop meme that makes us laugh.
