A Strategic Summit on Building Digital, Clinical, and Workforce Capability in Imaging - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate

Radiology sits at the centre of NHS diagnostic reform, enabling early detection, targeted intervention, and improved patient outcomes across every specialty. Yet rapid demand growth, workforce shortages, and legacy infrastructure continue to create pressure across imaging networks.

The NHS Diagnostics Strategy and Workforce Plan outline a bold direction, to deliver faster, data-driven, and connected diagnostic services supported by skilled professionals and interoperable systems. RadVision 2026brings together NHS imaging, radiology, and diagnostics leaders to translate this national ambition into applied capability, bridging the gap between innovation and day-to-day delivery.

Summit Focus:

The RadVision Summit is a skills-based, outcomes-driven forum designed to help imaging professionals strengthen workforce resilience, digital maturity, and diagnostic efficiency. Delegates will gain access to practical frameworks, peer-led insights, and tested delivery models that support sustainable improvement across imaging services.

Dedicated Skill Clinics will provide practical guidance, templates, and tools focused on AI deployment, cloud adoption, workflow optimisation, and workforce development.

Lessons Learned Sessions will share real-world reflections from NHS leaders on digital maturity, interoperability, and workforce transformation, focusing on what worked, what changed, and what was learned.

This is not a showcase of ambition, but a skills exchange on delivery, translating strategy into measurable improvement.

Delegate Outcomes - Delegates will leave with a clear understanding of how to:

  • Integrate AI and digital innovation safely across imaging to enhance triage, reporting, and predictive diagnostics.
  • Govern and operationalise cloud-based image management to enable cross-site collaboration and secure data access.
  • Use teleradiology to expand capacity, enable workforce flexibility, and ensure 24/7 reporting continuity.
  • Apply diagnostic data and analytics to improve operational performance and reporting efficiency.
  • Navigate advances in echo, breast, cardiac, X-ray, CT, and MRI imaging to modernise clinical pathways.
  • Address workflow bottlenecks and backlog recovery through automation and advanced practice roles.
  • Strengthen workforce development, retention, and wellbeing across diagnostic teams.

What’s New for 2026:

  • Morning & Afternoon Skill Clinics – Focused sessions providing frameworks and tools for AI adoption, cloud transition, and imaging optimisation.
  • Lessons Learned Sessions – Honest reflections from NHS imaging leaders on digital integration, workforce planning, and delivery at scale.
  • Action-Driven Case Studies – In-depth analysis of NHS sites demonstrating measurable gains in digital infrastructure, turnaround times, and workforce capability.

Why Attend:

  • Earn 8 CPD Points by attending.
  • Strengthen confidence in digital, workforce, and operational transformation across imaging.
  • Access ready-to-use frameworks supporting AI deployment, interoperability, and clinical governance.
  • Gain tested insights from NHS peers advancing diagnostic reform.
  • Take away practical toolkits and templates for immediate local application.
  • Join a national community dedicated to sustainable improvement and capability-building in imaging.

Who Would Benefit:

This summit is designed for radiology and imaging professionals, including Service Leads, Network Directors, Radiographers, Clinical Scientists, Diagnostic Transformation Managers, and ICB/ICS leaders.

It will also benefit operational directors, workforce planners, digital transformation leads, and governance teams focused on diagnostic efficiency and integration. Suppliers, technology partners, and academic collaborators will gain insight into NHS priorities, skill requirements, and the enablers of sustainable imaging transformation.
