Imaging Innovation Conference: South - Advancing NHS Radiology
The Imaging Innovation 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.

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.

Presentation: A List Less Ordinary : Radiology Innovations & Outreach (Confirmed)
Susan Shelmerdine
Consultant Radiologist
Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
In this lecture, Dr. Shelmerdine delves into her experiences from two paediatric radiology outreach missions in Luang Prabang, Laos and Kathmandu, Nepal. She highlights the advantages and key considerations prospective volunteers should be aware of before undertaking such missions and elaborates on the innovative approaches that radiologists can adopt by observing professionals in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The focus is not just on technological advancements and adaptations (although the integration of teleradiology, AI and smartphone technology is discussed), but emphasis is also placed on enhancing our existing skillsets including resourcefulness, adaptability, cross-cultural communication, diverse training methods, varied multidisciplinary team dynamics and training of non-radiologists.

Presentation - The Sustainable Workforce of the Future – Do Generations Z and Alpha have the solution? (Confirmed)
Chris Sleight
Chief Officer - Greater Manchester Imaging & Pathology Networks -
Greater Manchester Provider Federation Board
The world’s population is increasing at a dramatic rate. Since the turn of the millennium the world population has increased by 33%. This growth is set to continue for the next 80 years. Moreso, the growth is in the over 65 years population with little change predicted to birth rates. By 2100 the life expectancy in the UK is predicted to increase to over 90 years of age.
The healthcare needs of the UK population are already increasing with an increasing percentage of over sixty-fives, whilst the percentage of the population at an employable age is reducing.
Chris will look at the attitudes of the Generation Z and Generation Alpha and ask what we need to be aware of and what we need to do now to ensure we can create a workforce for the future with the skills, incentives, capacity and capability of sustaining and providing high quality services to an increasing population.
