The NHS Smart Estates Virtual Conference: Transforming the NHS Estate

Virtual Event: GoTo

The Convenzis Smart Estates Conference aims to provide a thought-provoking platform for the NHS Estates community to meet and listen to leading professionals deliver practical presentations based around the latest NHS estates innovation.

The NHS has recently launched a six-year National Framework Agreement for the provision of Smart Building Solutions.

The framework plans to bring the delivery of smart hospitals to the forefront, enabling local authorities and wider public bodies to procure smart building technologies more readily, resulting in both time and money saving improvement.

The development of smart hospitals represents a serious step change in the ambition to set a new standard in the UK’s ageing healthcare infrastructure through technical innovation.

The framework is being led by The Countess of Chester Hospital Commercial Procurement Services, and aims to drive the transformation of smart hospitals, creating world class facilities fit for the future and improving efficiency through data-enabled solutions that respond to the needs of patients, staff, and visitors.

In support of the NHS, we are happy to provide complimentary and CPD accredited delegates attendance to the sector.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

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.

Catalyst BI -

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!
