A Strategic Skills-Focused Summit on Transforming Respiratory Care Across the NHS - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
LungVision 2026 is an NHS conference focused on the practical delivery of improved respiratory services, with an emphasis on earlier diagnosis, integrated care pathways, and the effective use of data, digital tools, and the workforce. As community-based care, virtual wards, and diagnostic recovery become standard expectations, the event concentrates on how these models are being implemented in real-world settings. Chaired by Chris Sleight, it brings together leaders, clinicians, researchers, and delivery teams to share successes and ongoing challenges.
The conference takes place against a backdrop of increasing pressure on respiratory services across the NHS, including rising demand, workforce shortages, and diagnostic backlogs. At the same time, innovations such as AI-enabled monitoring, remote care technologies, and cross-sector collaboration present opportunities to improve outcomes. Sessions explore how these advancements can be safely and consistently integrated into existing systems, with contributions highlighting research priorities, pathway coordination, and the complexities of bridging hospital and community care.
Throughout the day, speakers examine both the effectiveness and limitations of current approaches. There is also a strong focus on measuring clinical, operational, and economic impact using real-world data, alongside incorporating patient perspectives on support, education, and engagement. Overall, the programme highlights the importance of coordinated, evidence-based approaches to transforming respiratory care.
Conference Focus:
This delivery-focused programme centres on real-world NHS implementation across respiratory care pathways. Sessions include a hands-on skills clinic on integrating hospital and community services, exploring how virtual wards and shared-care models are being deployed in practice. A series of case-led presentations examine community-based breathlessness pathways and the realities of remote monitoring, including where current tools fall short and how services are adapting.
The agenda also includes a focused NHS deep dive on medicines optimisation, prescribing and the use of data in respiratory management, led by Ravijyot Saggu. This session addresses how pharmacy, digital and clinical teams are working together to improve outcomes and support quality improvement.
The day concludes with a skills clinic on sleep therapy and diagnostics, with contributions from Gurnak Singh Dosanjh, Sriram Iyer and Claire Allen. This session explores how services are managing rising demand, diagnostic backlogs and the shift toward home-based testing and treatment.
Throughout, chair reflections are used to connect sessions and draw out practical implications for ICSs, ICBs and provider organisations.
The day is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
- How emerging diagnostic approaches and research priorities are translating into NHS practice
- How to implement and scale integrated respiratory pathways across hospital and community settings
- The strengths and limitations of current remote monitoring tools and how to apply them effectively
- How to measure impact and demonstrate value using real-world data and health economic approaches
- How prescribing, medicines optimisation and data can support respiratory outcomes and quality improvement
- How to incorporate patient perspectives into service design and delivery
What’s New for 2026:
Greater emphasis on applied learning and capability building, including two dedicated skills clinics focused on pathway integration and sleep diagnostics, alongside an NHS-led deep dive on prescribing and data. The programme places less emphasis on policy discussion and greater focus on how change is being delivered, adapted and sustained in practice.
Why Attend:
A practical, implementation-focused conference for NHS leaders working across respiratory care. Learn directly from peers delivering pathway redesign, digital deployment and service improvement, and leave with grounded, actionable insight that can be applied within local systems.
Who Would Benefit:
Senior NHS leaders across ICSs, ICBs and provider organisations responsible for respiratory services, diagnostics, digital delivery and long-term condition management. Particularly relevant for clinical leads, operational leaders, pharmacists, digital and data leads, and those involved in pathway redesign and community care transformation.
