NHS RPA Live: The Time for Change

Robotic process automation is a form of business process automation technology based on metaphorical software robots or on artificial intelligence /digital workers. It is sometimes referred to as software robotics.

The NHS has been slow to adopt RPA, however, over the last few years we have seen some amazing examples of RPA being used to improve processes across recruitment, admin, outpatients and more recently, COVID-19 antibody testing.

Following a well-received virtual session, we are very excited to bring you NHS RPA Live: The Time for Change! This in-person conference will provide an exclusive platform for senior NHS managers and leaders to listen, learn and engage with the leading lights in NHS Automation.

Join Convenzis and a panel of Robotic Process Automation experts as we take an immersive look into the world of robotics in healthcare.

In support of the NHS and keeping in line with the Convenzis ethos, attendance is complimentary for all NHS managers and leaders interested in the adoption of RPA across the sector.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

What our clients say about us

It was great to join the Convenzis team again for the patient flow event. As always, the team were incredibly accommodating and happy to help. The quality of attendees is always of a high standard and relevant to the patient flow and to us also. We continue to have great discussions and footfall around our stand with no need to try and encourage people to come and see us. Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

Catalyst BI -

My colleague and I presented at the NHS workforce conference 2023, 19 September. The support and guidance we received from the Convenzis team in the run up to our presentation slot was great, well timed and perfectly pitched. The event itself, again was expertly organised. The conference was well Chaired by Sean, who was very engaging. As an audience member as well as a panel member, I would definitely work with the Convenzis team again.

NHS BSA -

Working with Convenzis is a stress-free and a rewarding experience, with fantastic engagement from a highly targeted and relevant audience

Zoom

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
