AI Automation
Agency, London.
London is the UK's largest market for AI adoption, home to over 40,000 technology businesses and a regulatory environment shaped by the FCA, NHS DSPT, and UK GDPR. Axonari builds automation systems for London-based healthcare providers, fintechs, and law firms navigating post-Brexit compliance.
Four commissioning bodies, not one. Anything that crosses the capital crosses an organisational boundary.
London is covered by four integrated care boards: North East London, South East London, South West London, and West and North London. The last of those did not exist before 1 April 2026; it was created by merging two predecessor ICBs as part of the reorganisation that abolished twelve ICBs nationally and established six new ones.
That matters more for automation than it sounds. A provider operating across the capital can be contracting with four separate commissioning bodies, each with its own data sharing agreements, reporting cycles, and information governance sign-off. A workflow that is approved in one is not thereby approved in the others. We scope London projects assuming the boundary exists rather than discovering it at integration.
The 2026 reorganisation also created a specific and time-limited piece of work. Where an ICB was abolished, its contracts, staff, property and liabilities passed to the successor under a transfer scheme made under section 14Z28 of the National Health Service Act 2006. Systems, reference data and reporting lines built against the old organisation do not migrate themselves.
