EHR Wales: Reflection, Resilience and the Road Ahead

All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate

Delivered in partnership by Convenzis Group and Healthcare Innovation Consortium

Current Landscape and Challenges

Wales has made steady progress in strengthening digital foundations across health and care, supported by a nationally coordinated approach. However, variation in digital maturity remains, and the system faces ongoing pressure to deliver consistency, resilience and value in a challenging financial environment. Workforce engagement, cyber security and long term sustainability are increasingly prominent concerns.

At the same time, Wales is preparing for a major next step, the convergence toward a single national EHR. This ambition requires careful preparation, strong governance and a clear understanding of what has worked and what has not to date. Embedding digital change into everyday care, rather than treating it as a programme, is a key leadership challenge.

Timeliness of the Event

As the final EHR summit of the year, this event provides a timely opportunity for reflection and forward planning. 2026 is a foundational year for setting Wales on a path toward national EHR convergence by 2030. Leaders must balance ambition with realism, ensuring systems are resilient, secure and trusted while continuing to improve patient experience and safety.

This summit is timely because it creates space to consolidate learning from across the year and align stakeholders around the practical steps required to move forward. The focus is on translating experience into action and preparing the system for the next phase of digital maturity.

Key Discussion Points

  • Reflecting on digital delivery lessons and system wide learning.
  • Sustaining transformation while avoiding change fatigue.
  • Building resilient, secure and future ready digital infrastructure.
  • Preparing for national EHR convergence and interoperability.
  • Keeping patient safety, experience and trust central to digital strategy.
  • Translating frontline insight into system wide improvement.

This event is designed for leaders shaping the next phase of digital care in Wales. Delegates will gain practical insight into sustaining transformation, strengthening resilience and preparing for national convergence, while reinforcing a patient centred approach to digital delivery.
