Convenzis Group today announced a major evolution in its NHS event series, unveiling a new skills-focused format for 2026 that moves beyond discussion and delivers actionable learning for healthcare leaders across the system.
As the NHS continues to navigate transformation, workforce pressures and digital integration, Convenzis is reshaping its conferences into hands-on, outcome-driven learning experiences. The new format places practical education, capability building and shared learning at the core of every agenda.
What’s Changing?
Skill Clinics: Morning and afternoon sessions tackling real-world NHS challenges such as building business cases, leading digital change and measuring ROI.
Lessons from Experience: Fireside interviews and candid “what went wrong” reflections from NHS leaders, focusing on authentic learning from failure and recovery.
NHS-Led Deep Dives: Operational and clinical case studies showing how transformation was achieved and sustained.
Learning Frameworks: Each event is now structured around clear learning outcomes, ensuring every delegate leaves with measurable takeaways and practical tools ready for immediate use.
Healthcare Engagement Society (HESUK) Community Portal: An interactive, community led network for knowledge exchange and post event networking.
Why It Matters?
The 2026 Convenzis model represents a shift from passive listening to active participation, ensuring every event strengthens the skills, confidence and collaborative capacity of NHS professionals.
“Across our NHS systems, colleagues rarely lack clarity on what needs to be achieved. The real challenge lies in how to make it happen. The shift by Convenzis towards practical, skills-based learning reflects exactly what our teams need right now: opportunities to learn from experience, share proven methods and gain the confidence to deliver meaningful change in their own organisations.”
Chris Morrow-Frost, MSc, BA (Hons), Dip N - National Clinical Advisor to Hospitals and Co-Chair, NHS England Hospitals UEC Clinical Advisory Group
“The NHS is at a point where conversations alone are no longer enough. To truly transform our NHS, we need spaces that build capability, confidence and practical know-how. The evolution of these events into skills-based learning experiences reflects exactly what’s needed across our systems right now.
By focusing on shared learning and lessons from experience, we can help attendees move from inspired to empowered.
What I value the most about this new approach is its inclusivity. Whether you’re a digital lead, a clinician, a manager or someone completely new to transformation, you’ll come away with practical approaches you can implement immediately. This shift represents a genuine investment in people, equipping the next generation of NHS leaders to deliver sustainable change, not just discuss it.”
Dr Gurnak Dosanjh - NHS General Practitioner, Leicester | Deputy Chief Clinical Information Officer, LLR ICB | Clinical Lead for Cancer and Frailty, LLR ICB | GP Peer Ambassador, LLR ICB
“I am really excited that Convenzis are taking their already exceptional events to the next level, giving delegates the empowerment and confidence to implement what they will take away from the events to ensure NHS transformation and sustainability. True innovation is adopting what others have already achieved; sharing good practice is no longer enough; the NHS is crying out for departments to have the humility and confidence to take what others have delivered and shared, adopt this immediately and deliver benefits to patients on a national scale.
To deliver a truly sustainable NHS, it is critical to change the mindset of doing more with less and accelerate implementation of the great work being showcased at events such as these. With a growing and ageing population, we need to be learning and growing together at pace like never before. The new format of the conferences will offer an unprecedented opportunity for success.”
Chris Sleight - Former Chief Officer, Greater Manchester Diagnostics Network
“Our partnership with the NHS has always been about listening first. Over the past year, we’ve heard a clear message: leaders want less theory and more application. The 2026 format is our response. These events are built to equip every delegate with the tools, frameworks and confidence to drive real, measurable improvement within their teams.”
