The Patient Flow Conference South 2023

The Convenzis Patient Flow Conference series has been a highly valued platform for NHS Urgent care leaders, to meet with peers, share practical insights and listen to live policy updates throughout the Covid-19 outbreak. Below you can find details of our next event in the series, we hope to see you there.

“Convenzis are the ultimate professionals. From a Conference sponsor perspective, they couldn’t have been more helpful, supportive and collaborative. I had to make several complex requests in the run-up to the event, nothing was too much trouble for this team. The organisation of the event (sessions, logistics, delegates) was impeccable and their communication second to none. I have worked with a lot of event organisers over the years, this company is superb.” MSD/Merck

The challenges facing accident and emergency departments are well known and impact both staff and service delivery. The pressures of meeting targets and providing good care for patients while maintaining clinical standards often result in departments operating in ‘a crisis mode.

Effective streamlining of hospital processes to address patient flow is at the forefront for planners and operational leaders. Flow is traditionally managed in a fragmented manner, with many decisions taken locally inwards, leading to significant variation in practice.

This conference has been developed as a platform to help NHS and wider healthcare professionals sharpen knowledge on the latest best practice and national policy. We are proud to offer all NHS staff and healthcare professionals from low-income counties fully funded, complimentary delegate passes.

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!
