The 10-point Plan: NHS Productivity & Efficiency Congress:

Following on from 2 hugely successful and well followed NHS Productivity Conferences, we are pleased to be able to share details of our 3rd NHS Productivity Congress.

“The NHS productivity congress brought together a diverse group of senior stakeholders from across the health community to discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by the productivity challenge. Convenzis organised the event with a varied agenda and speakers. A good venue and enough time built into the day to browse the exhibitor stands and network. I gained valuable info and insight from the day and made some useful contacts who I’m following up with over the coming weeks to share good practice and ideas.” Head of Digital Products and Transformation at Public Health England

Overall, the NHS is one of the industrialised world’s most efficient health care systems and has substantially lower costs than other advanced European countries such as France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. The Germans spend 30 per cent more per person on health care than we do. Also, since 2010 the NHS has been increasing its productivity faster than the rest of the UK economy,

The NHS Long Term Plan sets out the government’s ambitions to improve the quality of care and outcomes in England over the next five years in return for the extra £20.5bn of funding announced by the Prime Minister last summer, within the plans lie 10 points of improvement that the NHS are putting a conscious effort into completing:

  • Free up 2000 to 3000 hospital beds
  • Further, clamp down on temporary staffing costs and improve productivity
  • Use the NHS’ procurement clout
  • Get the best value out of medicines and pharmacy
  • Reduce avoidable demand and meet demand more appropriately
  • Reduce unwarranted variation in clinical quality and efficiency
  • Estates, infrastructure, capital, and clinical support services
  • Cut the costs of corporate services and administration
  • Collect income the NHS is owed
  • Financial accountability and discipline for all trusts and CCGs

Documents including the NHS efficiency map & Lord Carter’s operational and productivity reviews set out clear guidelines on how NHS organisations can improve efficiency, Key drivers include:

  • Board capability
  • Long term training/workforce planning
  • Collaboration/sharing
  • Procurement
  • Controls and reporting
  • System leadership
  • Digital maturity

The 10-point Plan: NHS Productivity & Efficiency Congress will provide delegates and partners with first-hand insight into these deliverable objectives and outline a clear path to achieve better productivity within their organisation.

What our clients say about us

It was great to join the Convenzis team again for the patient flow event. As always, the team were incredibly accommodating and happy to help. The quality of attendees is always of a high standard and relevant to the patient flow and to us also. We continue to have great discussions and footfall around our stand with no need to try and encourage people to come and see us. Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

My colleague and I presented at the NHS workforce conference 2023, 19 September. The support and guidance we received from the Convenzis team in the run up to our presentation slot was great, well timed and perfectly pitched. The event itself, again was expertly organised. The conference was well Chaired by Sean, who was very engaging. As an audience member as well as a panel member, I would definitely work with the Convenzis team again.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
