The NHS Radiology Conference North 2023
The NHS Radiology Conference series provides a safe and secure platform for NHS imaging professionals to meet with peers, share insights and listen to live guest presentations delivered by sector-leading speakers and innovators. Delegates can expect to benefit from live keynote presentations from UK policymakers, meet-the-supplier sessions, live Q&A time and much more.
As the NHS continues to adapt to the changing healthcare landscape, it is important for managers and leaders to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and best practices in radiology. This conference brings together leading experts in the field to discuss key trends and innovations that are shaping the future of NHS radiology.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the use of AI and machine learning in radiology, the adoption of digital technologies, the expansion of telemedicine, and the increased focus on patient experience. Through interactive sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, attendees will be able to exchange ideas and insights with their peers and explore practical ways to implement these innovations in their own organizations.
There have been several recent developments in ultrasound technology that are enabling more accurate and detailed imaging, such as 3D and 4D ultrasound. There are also new portable and handheld ultrasound devices that are making it easier for clinicians to perform examinations at the bedside or in other clinical settings.
At this conference, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in ultrasound technology and how they are being used to improve patient care in the NHS. Through case studies and hands-on demonstrations, attendees will be able to see the capabilities of these technologies first hand and explore ways to incorporate them into their own practice.
Convenzis events are highly regarded for their ability to drive strategic level change and transformation within the healthcare industry. Our events bring together senior healthcare leaders and decision-makers from across the NHS and wider healthcare sector, with the aim of identifying and implementing innovative approaches to address the most pressing challenges facing the industry today.

The NHS Radiology Conference North 2023 Key Subjects
Key themes and learning points:
- Increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning: AI and machine learning are being used to assist radiologists in tasks such as image interpretation and analysis, which can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.
- Greater adoption of digital technologies: There is a trend towards the use of digital technologies such as electronic medical records and PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) in NHS radiology departments, which can help to streamline workflows and improve the accuracy and timeliness of diagnoses.
- Use of advanced imaging techniques: There has been an increase in the use of advanced imaging techniques such as PET-CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) in the NHS, which can provide more detailed and accurate images of the body's internal structures.
- Expansion of telemedicine: The use of telemedicine, or the delivery of healthcare services remotely using telecommunications technology, is increasing in the NHS. This can help to improve access to radiology services for patients in remote or underserved areas.
- Increased focus on patient experience: There is a growing emphasis on improving the patient experience in NHS radiology, including the use of patient-friendly equipment and techniques, and the provision of clear and accurate information about the examination process and results.
- Key advancements in ultrasound.

Exploring AI Imaging panel discussion:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize radiology services by improving accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. However, there are several challenges associated with implementing AI in radiology services, including ethical considerations, data privacy, and regulatory issues. The aim of this panel debate is to explore the implementation of AI in radiology services and discuss the opportunities and challenges it presents.
- Potential of AI in radiology services:
- Improved accuracy and efficiency
- Faster turnaround times
- Integration with existing radiology services
- Ethical considerations:
- Patient privacy and data security
- Potential for bias in AI algorithms
- Ensuring ethical and responsible use of AI
- Regulatory issues:
- Compliance with data protection laws
- Liability for AI errors
- Regulatory oversight
- Practical implementation of AI:
- Integration into existing workflows
- Training and education for radiology professionals
- Collaboration between radiologists and AI developers

Tackling the radiology backlog using Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
Mitchell O’Gorman
CEO
xWave Technologies
There is extensive research demonstrating that a large volume of imaging, in particular advanced imaging, may be inappropriate or unnecessary for patients.
xWave Technologies™ is on a mission to save lives by ensuring that patients get the best test first. xWave have integrated the iRefer guidelines from the Royal College of Radiologists into our smart clinical decision support platform, xWave CDS.
xWave CDS has reduced inappropriate requests to radiology department and hence is demonstrating an overall reduction in referral volumes for imaging.

The potential of AI/intelligence to improve patient experience, reduce radiology errors and improve health care efficiency.
Prof. (Dr.) Sanjay Gandhi
Research & Innovation Lead Core Clinical Directorate, Lead for Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, University of Bristol Chairman, British Institute of Radiology South West
North Bristol NHS Trust
AI can enhance patient’s journey through the medical imaging department, reduce image accusation errors, as well decrease the amount contrast medium necessary for CT and MRI scans. Computer-Aided Detection can assist clinicians in reducing interpretational errors. AI tools can prioritise reporting of radiology studies which have critical findings thereby improving care.

Quality Imaging - what they can do for your service
Katherine Jakeman
Quality Improvement Partner
RCR/CoR
Quality improvement can dynamically change your service improving it for both staff and patients, however it can feel like there is a heavy resource burden to get started and build momentum. People often resist quality improvement as they worry about change, and people resist change when they can’t see the benefits. This session will outline the benefits we have observed in services, with real world examples and why QI is not all about change.
