Current Landscape and Challenges
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the most significant challenges facing the NHS, affecting millions of people across the UK and accounting for one in four premature deaths. As the NHS continues to deliver the ambitions set out within the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, cardiology services are at the forefront of the system’s three major shifts: moving from sickness to prevention, from hospital-based care to community delivery, and from analogue services to digitally enabled care.
Delivering these ambitions requires more than policy alignment, it demands new skills, new workforce models, and practical implementation strategies that can be adopted across integrated care systems, community services, and cardiac networks. From reducing elective backlogs and expanding diagnostic capacity to implementing AI-enabled pathways and addressing persistent health inequalities, NHS leaders must develop the capability to translate national priorities into measurable local outcomes.
Summit Focus
CardioVision 2027 has been designed as a learning-focused summit that equips delegates with the knowledge, tools, and practical frameworks required to transform cardiovascular services over the next decade. The conference will explore how organisations are successfully redesigning pathways, developing multidisciplinary workforces, integrating community-based models, and leveraging digital innovation to improve patient outcomes.
Skill Clinics will focus on pathway redesign, workforce planning, prevention strategies, digital implementation, and service transformation.
Lessons Learned Sessions will provide candid reflections from senior NHS leaders and clinicians who will share the challenges, setbacks, and adaptations that shaped successful cardiovascular improvement programmes.
The emphasis throughout is not simply on what needs to change, but on how change can be delivered safely, sustainably, and at scale.
This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
· Cardiovascular system transformation & NHS 10-Year Plan: Delivering NHS priorities locally by integrating prevention, elective recovery, and community care into practical pathways.
· Elective recovery & diagnostics: Redesigning pathways to cut waiting times, increase capacity, and improve patient experience while maintaining safety and outcomes.
· Workforce & multidisciplinary teams: Strengthening cardiovascular teams through better skill mix across clinical and non-clinical roles to improve productivity and resilience.
· Digital cardiology & AI: Safely implementing AI, remote monitoring, wearables, and NHS App tools within integrated care pathways.
· Health inequalities & community care: Reducing disparities through targeted interventions, data-led planning, and expanded neighbourhood-based cardiac services.

Relevance for Sponsors & Partners
This conference provides a highly targeted platform for technology providers, suppliers, and strategic partners supporting cardiovascular transformation across the NHS. Sponsors will be ideally positioned to demonstrate how their solutions directly enable national priorities around prevention, elective recovery, digital enablement, and community-based cardiovascular care.
Partners will have the opportunity to showcase innovations that support:
- Digital cardiology pathways, including referral management, triage, and patient engagement platforms
- AI-enabled diagnostics, clinical decision support tools, and predictive risk stratification solutions
- Shared care records, interoperability platforms, and integrated data systems across ICSs and cardiac networks
- Remote monitoring technologies, virtual wards, and hospital-at-home models for heart failure and arrhythmia management
- Population health analytics, prevention tools, and data-driven approaches to managing cardiovascular risk factors
- Workforce solutions supporting multidisciplinary team coordination, skill-mix optimisation, and productivity improvement
- Pathway redesign, elective recovery, and capacity management tools to reduce waiting times and improve flow
- Automation and infrastructure platforms that support scalable, efficient cardiovascular service delivery
- Patient-facing digital tools supporting long-term condition management, behaviour change, and self-care
Through speaking opportunities, exhibition space, skill clinics, and interactive learning sessions, partners will be able to align their solutions directly to NHS priorities around cardiovascular prevention, service transformation, and health inequality reduction. The summit provides direct access to senior NHS leaders, commissioners, clinicians, and transformation teams responsible for implementing the NHS 10-Year Health Plan within cardiovascular services, offering a highly focused environment for engagement, collaboration, and solution visibility.

Keynote Presentation - Cardiovascular System Transformation & the NHS 10-Year Plan
This session will explore how cardiovascular services can transform to meet the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Plan by shifting from reactive treatment to proactive, integrated care. It will examine how local systems can deliver improved cardiovascular outcomes through prevention, earlier risk identification, streamlined elective pathways, faster access to diagnostics, and closer integration between hospitals, primary care, community services and patients.
The session will highlight practical approaches to reducing health inequalities, supporting elective recovery, expanding care closer to home, and building sustainable cardiovascular pathways that improve population health. By connecting prevention, specialist expertise, digital innovation and community-based care, cardiology can move towards a future focused not only on treating cardiovascular disease, but on preventing it and improving outcomes across the whole population.
Skills Clinic: Stronger Teams, Better Care: Optimising Skill Mix to Build Resilient Cardiovascular Services
Cardiovascular services are facing increasing demand and workforce pressures, requiring new approaches to team design and skill mix. This skills clinic will explore how strengthening multidisciplinary teams through better integration of clinical and non-clinical roles can improve productivity, resilience and patient care. The session will showcase practical approaches to workforce redesign, role optimisation and collaborative working across cardiology teams, highlighting how nurses, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, operational colleagues and support teams can contribute to more flexible, sustainable models of care. Delegates will explore strategies to build high-performing teams, improve pathways and create a workforce that is equipped to meet the future needs of cardiovascular services.
