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 heart of NHS transformation, enabling early diagnosis, targeted intervention, and improved patient outcomes across every specialty. Yet demand growth, workforce shortages, and legacy infrastructure continue to stretch capacity, creating persistent bottlenecks across imaging networks.

The NHS Diagnostics Strategy and Workforce Plan set a clear direction: to deliver faster, data-driven, and connected diagnostic services underpinned by skilled professionals and interoperable systems. RadVision 2026 convenes NHS imaging and diagnostic leaders to translate this ambition into applied capability, bridging the gap between innovation and delivery.

Summit Focus:

The RadVision Summit is a skills-based, outcomes-driven forum designed to help imaging professionals embed sustainable improvement within their services. Delegates will engage with practical frameworks, shared learning, and tested delivery models to strengthen workforce resilience, digital maturity, and diagnostic efficiency.

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

Lessons Learned Sessions will share candid reflections from NHS leaders on implementing digital imaging at scale, overcoming interoperability barriers, and managing workforce transformation.

This is not a showcase of what to achieve, but a skills exchange on how to achieve it, translating national ambition into measurable improvement.

This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:

  • The safe and effective integration of AI and digital innovation across imaging modalities to enhance triage, reporting, and predictive diagnostics.
  • The design and governance of cloud-based image management systems that improve data access and enable cross-site collaboration.
  • The evolving role of teleradiology in capacity sharing, workforce flexibility, and 24/7 service continuity.
  • The use of diagnostic data and analytics to inform operational decisions, reporting efficiency, and system-wide performance.
  • Advances across key specialties, including echo, breast, cardiac, X-ray, CT, and MRI, that are reshaping imaging pathways and improving outcomes.
  • Approaches for addressing workflow and backlog reduction through automation, advanced practice roles, and digital coordination.
  • Strategies for workforce development and retention, focusing on upskilling, wellbeing, and career-long capability building.

What’s New for 2026:

  • Morning & Afternoon Skill Clinics: Practical sessions offering frameworks and tools for AI adoption, cloud transition, and imaging optimisation.
  • Lessons Learned Sessions: Real-world insights from NHS imaging leaders reflecting on digital maturity, workforce planning, and performance recovery.
  • Peer Learning Circles: Structured exchanges enabling ICB, ICS, and provider teams to co-design solutions to common diagnostic challenges.
  • Action-Driven Case Studies: In-depth discussions illustrating measurable gains in reporting efficiency, digital infrastructure, and workforce capability.

Why Attend:

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

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 cross-specialty collaboration. Suppliers, technology partners, and academic collaborators will gain insight into NHS priorities, skill requirements, and the enablers of sustainable imaging transformation.
