A Strategic Summit on Capacity, Workforce, and Patient Experience - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
NHS endoscopy services are experiencing unprecedented demand, driven by population growth, screening programmes, and the increasing need for early diagnosis. Expanding capacity while ensuring safety, quality, and patient-centred care has become a strategic imperative. Health systems must innovate to make endoscopy pathways resilient, efficient, and capable of delivering equitable outcomes for all patients.
For those requiring surgery or more complex procedures, emerging robotic technologies in endoscopy are creating opportunities to deliver care closer to home. These innovations are reducing reliance on hospital-based diagnostics, streamlining care, and enhancing the patient experience.
Simultaneously, digital transformation including AI integration and robust accreditation frameworks such as JAG are reshaping service delivery. The sector faces the dual challenge of scaling capacity while embedding best practice and workforce development across complex, multi-site systems. This summit offers a collaborative forum for leaders to explore practical solutions, share insights, and drive sustainable improvements in endoscopy care.
Summit Focus:
The NHS Endoscopy Conference Summit is a premier event for sharing best practices and innovations, designed to help NHS professionals move from awareness to applied implementation. Delegates will gain hands-on frameworks, tested delivery models, and peer-derived insights on how to embed safe, equitable, and sustainable transformation within their services.
Dedicated Skill Clinics will provide practical tools, checklists, and templates to support capacity planning, workforce deployment, and pathway redesign. Lessons Learned Sessions offer candid reflections from NHS leaders on real-world challenges, including workforce gaps, equipment utilisation, and process optimisation.
This is not a showcase of what to achieve, but a skills exchange on how to achieve it, translating national ambition into measurable improvement.
This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
- Aligning endoscopy capacity with demand through data-driven planning, including the safe expansion of procedures performed with non-anaesthetist-led sedation.
- Integrating AI and digital solutions to support staff and improve efficiency.
- Addressing workforce shortages and enhancing staff capability.
- Streamlining patient pathways to deliver measurable service improvements.
- Enhancing patient experience and equity in endoscopy through safe sedation, strong governance, effective infection control, capnography (CO₂) monitoring, and adherence to national guidance.
What’s New for 2026?
- Morning & Afternoon Skill Clinics: immersive sessions focused on actionable tools, checklists, and templates delegates can implement immediately.
- Lessons Learned Sessions: real-world reflections from NHS leaders detailing what went wrong, what changed, and what succeeded.

Keynote Presentation - Delivering the National Endoscopy Strategy: Right Care, Right Time
Session Overview:
Morning Skills Clinic - Addressing Workforce Shortages and Enhancing Staff Capability
Session Overview:
The NHS endoscopy services face increasing demand, yet workforce shortages and skill gaps present significant challenges to delivering timely, high-quality patient care. This skills clinic provides practical strategies and innovative approaches to tackle these issues head-on. Participants will explore effective workforce planning, staff development programs, and retention initiatives that strengthen team capability and resilience. Through interactive discussions and case studies, attendees will gain actionable insights on optimising staff deployment, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, and implementing training pathways that build both competence and confidence. This session is essential for clinical leaders, managers, and educators aiming to future-proof endoscopy services while maintaining excellence in patient care.
Main Sponsor - Partnerships in Action: Leveraging Ergonomic Innovation to optimise Endoscopy Services
Main Sponsor - PENTAX Medical
Seventy five percent of endoscopists experience endoscopy related injuries, affecting both clinicians and service delivery. When my company introduced new ergonomically improved technology, I recognised an opportunity and a responsibility to take action. In this talk, I outline the steps I am leading: raising awareness, promoting ergonomic best practice, and collaborating with clinicians to drive meaningful, sustainable change across endoscopy.

Presentation - Evolution of Excellence: Delivering Enhanced Patient Care through the New 6-Room PRUH Endoscopy and Diagnostic Centre
Session Overview:
For years, the endoscopy service at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) operated within the constraints of an outdated, two-room facility. While clinical excellence was maintained, the physical environment increasingly struggled to meet growing demand and modern patient expectations.
This session chronicles the ambitious journey from those humble beginnings to the launch of our new Endoscopy and Diagnostic Centre, a state-of-the-art facility featuring six high-specification procedure rooms.
NHS Deep Dive - Transforming Demand & Capacity Management in Endoscopy
Session Overview:
Effective demand and capacity management is essential for timely, safe, and sustainable endoscopy services, especially amid rising referrals, workforce constraints, and higher NHS performance expectations.
This presentation covers our practical approach to understanding, modelling, and optimising endoscopy demand and capacity. Our dynamic, data-driven dashboard provides real-time insights on referrals, waiting lists, session utilisation, workforce availability, and productivity, supporting operational decisions, scenario modelling, and long-term planning.
We are now expanding this solution within the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), enabling standardised, scalable analytics across organisations, fostering system-wide collaboration, consistent reporting, and alignment between operational delivery and strategic planning.
Presentation - Cystoscopy Overview
Session Overview:
This presentation offers a focused overview of cystoscopy within NHS practice, emphasising its importance in the diagnosis and management of lower urinary tract conditions. It will briefly review common cystoscopic findings, followed by an outline of the typical patient pathway from initial referral and indication through to procedure and follow-up care. In addition, the session will highlight recent technological advancements and service developments designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve efficiency, and optimise the patient experience.
Afternoon Skills Clinic - Strengthening Patient Safety Governance and Equitable Patient Experience in NHS Endoscopy
Session Overview:
This Skills Clinic is designed to strengthen the practical and theoretical competencies of endoscopy professionals by focusing on the integration of Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accreditation standards with robust patient safety governance. The session will explore how services can enhance patient experience and equity across endoscopy by embedding safe sedation practices, effective infection prevention and control, appropriate safety margins, routine capnography (CO₂) monitoring, and adherence to national guidance.
Participants will discuss the core principles of JAG accreditation and apply patient safety frameworks to everyday clinical practice, including identifying and mitigating risks, strengthening governance processes, and promoting a culture of continuous quality improvement. The session aims to support endoscopy teams in delivering high-quality, safe, equitable, and compliant care aligned with NHS standards.
