All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
Current Landscape and Challenges:
The NHS is at a pivotal moment. Hospitals are under sustained pressure from rising demand, constrained capacity and workforce shortages, while a growing proportion of care, particularly for long-term conditions, rehabilitation, frailty and mental health, can be delivered more effectively outside traditional acute settings.
Neighbourhood-based models are no longer conceptual. They now require robust digital infrastructure, interoperable platforms, data-led population insight and scalable operational models to function safely and at scale.
Integrated Care Systems are being asked to redesign services while simultaneously addressing legacy estates, fragmented digital tools, variable data quality and inconsistent access to enabling technology across community, primary and social care.
Timeliness of the Event:
The NHS 10-Year Plan, the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme and the continued expansion of virtual wards mark a decisive shift toward digitally enabled, preventative and community-centred care.
Neighbourhood Health Centres and extended-access hubs are now moving from policy ambition into delivery. This creates immediate demand for enterprise-grade digital platforms, remote monitoring, workforce optimisation tools, interoperable records, analytics and population health technologies that can operate across organisational boundaries.
Neighbourhood Teams 2026 arrives at the point where systems must move beyond pilots and funding announcements and focus on operationalising technology, data and workforce models that can scale safely and sustainably.
Summit Focus:
Neighbourhood Teams 2026 is a delivery-focused forum designed to support NHS leaders as they translate neighbourhood strategy into operational reality.
The programme is intentionally structured to address both service design and the enabling digital, data and infrastructure layers required to make neighbourhood models work in practice.
Delegates will engage with applied frameworks, real-world case studies and skills-led sessions covering how neighbourhood teams are designed, funded, staffed, digitised and governed at scale.
Dedicated Skill Clinics provide practical tools, checklists and implementation templates across digital enablement, workforce deployment, estates utilisation, data integration and service governance. Lessons Learned Sessions offer candid reflections from NHS leaders on what has worked, what has not, and what had to change mid-delivery.
This is not a showcase of aspiration, but a working session on how neighbourhood care is actually built, enabled and sustained.
Key Discussions and Event Flow. This year’s programme is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave with practical insight across:
- Service Redesign and Operating Models: Aligning neighbourhood services with the NHS 10-Year Plan, including prevention, personalised care and extended access delivery models.
- Digital Enablement of Neighbourhood Care: Deploying platforms that support virtual wards, remote monitoring, digital triage, shared care records and cross-team coordination.
- Data, Insight and Population Health: Using neighbourhood-level data, analytics and dashboards to stratify risk, target interventions and measure outcomes.
- Workforce and Productivity Technologies: Tools and approaches that support multidisciplinary working, workforce optimisation, scheduling, delegation and skill-mix redesign.
- Safety, Governance and Interoperability: Ensuring digital, clinical and operational governance across community settings, including interoperability with acute and social care systems.
- Patient Flow and System Efficiency: Reducing avoidable admissions, supporting discharge, and relieving A&E and elective pressure through neighbourhood delivery models.
- Equity, Access and Experience: Designing neighbourhood services that reduce inequality, improve access and deliver consistent experience across diverse populations.
Why Attend:
- Earn 8 CPD Points through a skills-led, outcomes-driven programme.
- Build confidence in delivering neighbourhood care models that are digitally enabled and operationally sustainable.
- Gain practical frameworks for technology adoption, workforce redesign and service governance.
- Learn from NHS peers implementing neighbourhood, virtual ward and community transformation at scale.
- Leave with actionable tools, templates and delivery insight for local rollout.
- Engage with a senior NHS audience shaping the next generation of community-based care.
Who Would Benefit:
This conference is designed for senior NHS decision-makers and delivery leaders, including ICS and ICB executives, primary and community care leaders, digital and data leaders, estates and infrastructure teams, workforce planners and transformation directors.
It is particularly relevant for those responsible for platform strategy, digital investment, population health, virtual wards, neighbourhood health centres and cross-sector integration.
Technology suppliers, digital partners and innovators will gain deep insight into where systems are investing, how decisions are made, and what operational problems NHS leaders are actively trying to solve, making this a strong environment for strategic, high-value partnerships.
