A Skills-Focused Summit on Transforming Respiratory Care Across the NHS - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate

Respiratory disease remains one of England’s most persistent health challenges, affecting one in five people and accounting for over 850,000 emergency admissions in 2024 alone. Rising COPD and pneumonia rates, limited diagnostic capacity, and the continuing impact of poor air quality are driving system-wide pressure.

As the NHS enters a new decade of transformation under the 2025 Ten-Year Health Plan, respiratory care stands at the centre of its prevention, community, and digital ambitions.

LungVision 2026 moves beyond discussion to deliver practical, education-led insight into how NHS teams can build capability, resilience, and equity in respiratory health. Through interactive skill clinics, lessons-learned interviews, and real-world case studies, delegates will explore how to expand diagnostic capacity, embed multidisciplinary care models, and strengthen digital-enabled prevention across ICSs and community services.

This year’s forum is built around clear learning outcomes. Attendees will gain practical tools and frameworks to:

  • Implement community-based models of care aligned to NHS priorities, reducing emergency admissions and winter surges.
  • Expand diagnostic access by scaling spirometry and community testing within neighbourhood centres and pharmacies.
  • Develop a sustainable workforce, with training pathways and multidisciplinary team structures for respiratory transformation.
  • Leverage digital and AI tools for early detection, remote monitoring, and population-level prevention.
  • Embed health equity and environmental awareness into service design, tackling deprivation, pollution, and inequality in outcomes.

What’s New for 2026

  • Morning and Afternoon Skill Clinics – hands-on sessions focused on developing practical frameworks for diagnostics expansion, workforce capability, and digital monitoring.
  • Lessons Learned Sessions – senior leaders share candid reflections on implementation challenges, missteps, and successful course corrections in community respiratory care.
  • Peer Learning Circles – informal lunchtime discussions connecting clinicians, commissioners, and digital leads tackling similar local challenges.
  • Action-Focused Case Studies – presentations centred on how outcomes were achieved, with toolkits and models delegates can adapt in their own ICSs.

Why Attend:

Earn 8 CPD Points by attending.

This year’s LungVision conference is designed to equip NHS respiratory leaders, clinicians, commissioners, and digital health teams with actionable skills and frameworks to deliver the NHS’s prevention-first agenda. Delegates will benefit from:

  • Hands-on learning – skill clinics that translate national goals into local, scalable delivery plans.
  • Real incident reflection – lessons-learned sessions revealing what worked and what didn’t in service redesign.
  • Practical resources – diagnostic expansion guides, MDT development frameworks, and remote monitoring templates to implement immediately.
  • Collaborative insights – cross-sector dialogue with respiratory networks, primary care, community teams, and suppliers supporting system resilience.

LungVision 2026 is more than a conference - it’s a skills forum for respiratory transformation, helping NHS teams build capacity, reduce health inequalities, and deliver digitally enabled care that’s ready for the next decade.

Who Would Benefit

This summit is ideal for respiratory clinical leads, ICS programme directors, diagnostic service managers, community providers, and digital transformation teams involved in improving respiratory pathways and prevention.

It will also benefit primary care and pharmacy leads, commissioners, and public health specialistsseeking practical solutions to integrate respiratory diagnostics, workforce planning, and digital monitoring into community services.
