The Virtual NHS Data Conference 2023

The Convenzis NHS Data and Information Virtual Conference series provide NHS IT Managers and data specialists with the latest national policy updates and best practice from across the UK. Over 1000 delegates have joined us throughout the pandemic to discuss challenges and how data is being used to help provide a more comprehensive and integrated healthcare system.

The health and care system continues to face an unprecedented challenge from both the response to the pandemic and in supporting the recovery of health services.

Data and information are at the very heart of NHS service improvement plans including the development of Integrated Care Services (ICS) across the UK.

The true power of data will be used as some organisations start out on their population health management journey. Population Health is an approach that aims to improve physical and mental health outcomes, promote well-being and reduce health inequalities across an entire population, data underpins this strategy.

NHS England and Improvement stated that “Population Health Management is an emerging technique for local health and care partnerships to use data to design new models of proactive care and deliver improvements in health and wellbeing which make the best use of the collective resources”.

Our NHS Data and Information Virtual Conference will provide a platform for the NHS Data and Information community to discuss practical insights and listen to some of the UK’s most reputable and thought-provoking NHS content.

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.

Harnessing the power of data to drive change in the NHS (Confirmed)

Ming Tang
Chief Data and Analytics Officer
NHS England

In response to COVID-19 one of the most impactful tools at our disposal was the power of data.

  • Data identified those who are most vulnerable to coronavirus.
  • Data powered vital research that helped us discover new treatments that saved lives.
  • Data was essential to our day-to-day response.

Giving decision makers access to accurate real-time information to make informed, effective decisions is transforming how we plan, manage, and sustain services. Across the health and care system people are using data more efficiently and effectively than ever before.

Ming Tang, the NHS’s first Chief Data and Analytics Officer, will look at how we can leverage data to equip integrated care systems with the information they need to coordinate services, improve population health and reduce inequalities.

How better use of data is enabling proactive, personalised care in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK)

Prasanth Peddaayyavarla
Head of Data Science
NHS Arden & GEM CSU
Julia Pledger
Nurse Consultant – Diabetes
Bedfordshire Integrated Community Diabetes Service

Population Health Management (PHM) uses linked data sets from primary, secondary and community care as well as social care where possible. Our role at Arden & GEM is to work with Integrated Care Systems to analyse millions of data records and present information back in ways that are accessible and meaningful for clinicians and their teams. In this session we will share some of the projects we are working on with BLMK ICB to enable them to use PHM to segment their population and develop proactive interventions based on a detailed understanding of patient needs. This will include a pilot programme to co-design a diabetes dashboard to support GP practices in proactively managing care for the 67,833 patients with diabetes across the system.

Using Digital Twins in Healthcare

Darren Challender
Director of Healthcare Advisory
Hitachi Vantara

Healthcare systems across the world are facing similar challenges with respect to, capacity, workforce, and performance; the deployment of new technologies offers new solutions to alleviate these issues but often relies on data looking at past activities and events.

Digital twins provide an opportunity to change this and move towards a more predictive and proactive way of working by anticipating what is going to happen and proactively planning for the future. Real time, patient level digital twins therefore provide a real opportunity for healthcare systems to evolve and develop the skills necessary to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Delivering Strategic Change in Data Security and Data Privacy

Rosie Underwood
Head of Data Security, Privacy and Records Management

The landscape of data security and data privacy is continually evolving to meet the demands of healthcare and wider industry. The NHS relies on systems and services to be built and delivered with these principles at the forefront as well as confidential and sensitive information being shared safely and securely to save and improve lives.

In this session, Rosie will discuss why ‘Secure and Privacy by Design’ principles are becoming increasingly paramount for the delivery of patient care, and how NHS Blood and Transplant is delivering a strategic change programme across these remits, to deliver a customer centric function and support the enablement of business objectives.

Defend your Patient Data – Don’t Pay the Ransom

Andy Spencer
Technical Account Manager, Public Sector Team
Veritas Technologies

Ransomware is a real and present threat for the NHS. 85% of NHS 111 services were affected by a cyber-attack on an IT supplier in 2022. These incidents cause a huge impact on the doctors and medical staff, and disruption to patient care. The consequences can be life threatening.

In this session, Andy will explore the impact of ransomware on the NHS and how attackers are changing the way they operate. You’ll hear about the steps you can take to mitigate against an attack, recover your data at scale and at speed, to minimise the impact on your patients.

What about tomorrow? Using data to plan for future morbidity trajectories in our ageing population

David Sgorbati
Chief Analyst
Health Economics Unit

A key question facing policy makers today is ‘how will the demand for health and social care change as the population ages?’. People are living longer, with the number of people aged 85 or older in England expected to rise from 1.3 million to 2.6 million over the next 25 years.1 Furthermore, as people age, they may have more complex health and social care needs which can sometimes lead to increased demand for health and social care.

However, as our services improve, morbidity trajectories are changing, and it's crucial we understand them to plan effectively. The Health Economics Unit (HEU) worked with the REAL Centre (part of the Health Foundation) to investigate new models to predict the long-term-conditions profile in our ageing population, the expected needs, and the diversity we can find in how people from different sociodemographic groups age.

Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

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!
