Revolutionising General Practice: The Virtual Remote Consulting Conference

As stated in the Using Online Consultations in Primary Care Implementation Toolkit:

“We have an opportunity to revolutionise General Practice. Online consultations implemented inclusively, as part of a comprehensive primary care service, can enhance the experience of care for patients and support general practice in managing time and workloads, improving both access and sustainability.”

By now, we are all too aware that the recent outbreak of COVID-19 is placing unprecedented strain on the NHS and will continue to do so over the coming months. Digital and technology solutions have a crucial role to play in the NHS Response, with telephone, video, and online tools helping the NHS to provide safe and effective care while reducing face-to-face appointments. The effective deployment of video consultation tools in secondary, as well as primary, care will help not only to minimise the risk of transmitting COVID-19 but can also enable clinical staff to care for patients from home should they need to.

Teams from across NHS England/ Improvement and NHSX have now created an interactive toolkit that provides a view of what to think about before, during, and after the implementation of remote consulting services. It shares case studies and evidence to help you tailor your implementation journey and support you in going further faster and more successfully.

Key toolkit aims:
1. To focus on people, not technology. Adopting the tools alone will not transform care; they must be combined with a new way of working
2. Share good practice underpinned by evidence and professional guidance
3. Describe critical success factors for making the most of innovative technology
4. Bring to life the opportunity. Case studies enable you to learn directly from practices with practical advice about what works
5. Help practices build connections with peers, learn collaboratively and join a virtual learning platform
6. Support progress towards delivering the requirements of the GMS contract, Network contract DES and the vision of the Long-Term Plan We invite you to adapt this toolkit to develop your local plans.

Our 2nd Revolutionising General Practice: Remote Consulting virtual conference will open the debate on primary care remote consulting and provide a unique opportunity to meet with peers/ sector-leading speakers and commercial thought leaders, all from your front room!

The Human Effect of medicine – is it important and if it is what is the impact of remote consultation?

David Kenrick
GP
St Thomas Medical Group
The Human Effect of medicine – is it important and if it is what is the impact of remote consultation? Ill-health has three components: The disease or pathological process; the illness – the personal experience of unhealth and psychological attitude to the disease; and the sickness – a public status that is negotiated with society. The placebo effect clearly demonstrates the potential of factors that do not act directly on the disease process. This session will explore the therapeutic benefit of human interaction and the potential impact of remote consultation.

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.

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.

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!
