The Radiology Conference 2022

The Convenzis Radiology Conference is the leading event covering NHS imaging and radiology updates. Over 1200 senior delegates have already tuned in to live sessions and shared insights with peers across the UK.

NHS England and Improvement recently set out initial plans to develop and implement collaborative imaging networks on a national basis across England with the aim to improve the quality of patient care and to provide imaging professionals with improved career progression opportunities.

By utilising the data from the NHS England and NHS Improvement national imaging data collections, the NHS can begin to provide services based on geographical patient flows and provide services in these areas including, cancer, stroke, major trauma, acute cardiology, and maternity services, this also provides an opportunity for skill mix, procurement for capital equipment, outsourcing, and shared capacity, and demand between imaging networks.

Adjacent to this, plans are being drawn up for imaging diagnostic ‘one-stop shops’ that will provide a base away from hospital settings so that patients can receive life-saving checks close to their homes.

Our upcoming event on October 18th will provide the NHS Imaging community with a timely platform to listen, learn and share insights based on these new national imaging strategies.

Greater Manchester Pathway to Regional PACS & Imaging Network (Confirmed)

Chris Sleight
Chief Officer - Greater Manchester Imaging & Pathology Networks -
Greater Manchester Provider Federation Board

The presentation describes the Greater Manchester journey to procuring a single instance PACS and VNA system as part of a Diagnostics Digital Enterprise Solution; the lessons learned from the experience, and from these some views from GM as to how we would recommend a network procurement may be best approached.

The presentation also focuses on how the success of this collaborative programme has facilitated the smooth and rapid creation of the Greater Manchester Imaging Network, how the Network has developed to date, and our plans for maturing the network in the future.

Transforming healthcare with augmented intelligence (Confirmed)

JD Blackwood
CTO and NHS National Programme Manager
iCAIRD

The Industrial Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research in Digital Diagnostics is the UK’s largest dedicated healthcare AI programme.  Based in Scotland and funded by Innovate UK, this £20m+ national programme operates over 35 research and AI evaluation projects with over 30 global partners, including NHS Scotland. 

Over a third of those projects focus upon cancer screening and detection in radiology and pathology imaging.  Together, we’ll examine how the technology examined by iCAIRD could be used within oncology pathways and discuss how we can adopt those innovations within the NHS, quickly and at scale.

Case Study

With traditional imaging and pathology workflows typically taking two weeks, from sample collection and preparation to diagnosis, we pose the question; how can we help? When we also consider the numerous other challenges currently facing the healthcare sector, including the immense pressure on staffing, the need for support and change is clear.

Through the implementation of new, innovative technologies, these workflows can be streamlined and condensed down to a number of hours, dramatically improving patient care and outcomes. Join our session to hear our CIO, Jonathan Bridges and James Tear, Unstructured Data Solutions, Dell Technologies discuss more about our initiative for the National Pathology Imaging Cooperative. They will delve into how bringing clinical, radiologic, and genomic data into the Cloud enables organisations to optimise patient outcomes and enable more effective collaboration between healthcare professionals, wherever they are located.

The Quality Standard for Imaging Networks QSIN (Confirmed)

Alexandra Lipton She/her
Professional Officer
The Society of Radiographers

Put simply, networks are a group or system of interconnected people or things. They can play many roles in healthcare delivery: driving change and collaboration across complex organisational structures; enabling the best service for patients and staff, and uniting professionals with common clinical interests.

Networks, if effectively supported and harnessed, can offer solutions to tackling systemic and complex problems faced by an NHS beholden to financial pressures and chronic staff shortages. The Quality Standard for Imaging Networks (QSIN) is consistent with the national direction to develop imaging networks.

Imaging networks have been developed throughout the UK with seven network regions in England and one network in each for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. An imaging network may also be formed by a company to oversee all the imaging departments it has or an informal group of imaging entities who want to form a network.

This session provides delegates with an overview of QSIN , covering its  development , the standards and the colleges’  ( Royal College of Radiologists and the College of Radiographers )  vision for its development .

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!
