Keynote Presentation - Transforming Patient Flow: The national perspective (Confirmed)
As we continue to work in a challenging environment across the NHS, the need to consistently do the right things for patients and our staff is more important than ever. The ability to deliver high quality affordable care, in the right setting for our patients will only be possible if we evolve to deliver new models of care, transition from a model of care reliant on bedded facilities and embrace the many enablers that will support our journey.
This presentation will overview why it is so important that we transform patient flow not just within the acute environment but across the UEC pathway utilising known best practice and evolving model of cares to deliver UEC services we can all be proud of
Keynote Presentation - The impact of poor patient flow on patient experience (Confirmed)
Poor patient flow from the patient’s perspective.
Case Study - Using Real-Time Data, AI and Machine Learning via the Athena Command Centre to improve patient flow and ease pressures on the NHS
Case Study - Catalyst BI
The award-winning Athena Command Centre presents a comprehensive solution by furnishing multi-disciplinary hospital flow teams with decision-ready data. This data and AI ready platform offers real-time insights into the hospital's operational status, effectively pinpointing areas of pressure and bottlenecks. It meticulously measures 80 key performance areas of Urgent and Emergency Care Patient Flow, encompassing all the established UK KPIs including NHS England OPEL parameters.
The true impact is delivered in real time outcomes with:
- 94.7% stat on waiting times across users
- 11 min - Average Ambulance Handover v 15 min target
- Achieving over 86% predictive modelling rates
- Savings of approximately £70k - £200k per annum on FTE redeployments and workforce management
- Real-time bed state and availability with the ability to communicate directly with ward teams
Furthermore, the predictions are used to improve weekly workforce planning meetings, reviewed on a 4 hour window to assess immediate impacts and shared with the external stakeholders to support community and residential care availability providing opportunities for earlier discharges.

Case Study - Driving Operational Change with Real-Time Data: Why a hospital is like an airport
Case Study - Netcompany
In this session, we explore how real-time data is transforming operational decision-making, improving efficiency, and relieving administrative burden. Learn about the practicalities of modernising complex legacy systems and gain insight from innovations being used across airports - a complex organisational ecosystem similar in design to hospital operations.
By applying these lessons to the healthcare sector, we delve into how hospitals can use similar data-driven approaches to improve patient flow, resource allocation, and overall care delivery. Emphasising the shift to flexible, modular systems, this session highlights the potential for reduced waiting times, optimised resource use and patient flow, and better patient outcomes.

Case Study - Accelerating discharge and enhancing patient care
Case Study - Royal Voluntary Service
The NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme is a unique partnership between NHS England, Royal Voluntary Service, and tech platform GoodSAM, with over 43,000 volunteers providing essential support to healthcare teams across England.
Volunteers play a crucial role in expediting patient discharge from hospitals through the Pick Up and Deliver Service which ensures that medications are delivered directly to patients’ homes after they leave hospital.
In addition to medication delivery, Pick Up and Deliver volunteers can transport medical devices and mobility aids to and from patient’ homes from NHS sites, contributing to NHS England’s net zero targets.
Join us in exploring how the NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme can be an invaluable asset in your efforts to improve patient flow, enhance patient care, and support healthcare priorities.
