University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust
Case Study - Skin Analytics
Rising urgent suspected skin cancer referrals, finite dermatology capacity and a patient population with high incidence rates of skin cancer. In this session, University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD) and Skin Analytics share how they addressed these challenges by implementing Artificial Intelligence as a Medical Device (AIaMD), DERM, into their skin cancer pathway.
We'll explore what it takes to successfully deploy technology like AIaMD, including pathway mapping, the involvement of clinical, IT and operational teams, and the collaborative working approach required to ultimately drive better patient outcomes.
Attendees will gain practical insights on the importance of job planning, plus staff engagement and buy-in.
UHD and Skin Analytics will share impact seen from the AI-driven pathway to date as well as future plans for the partnership, looking at expanding to pre-referral models and how to maintain long-term sustainability.

Keynote Presentation - Outpatient transformation: stepping off the hamster wheel (Confirmed)
Laura Ellis
Head of Outpatient Transformation
University Hospital Southampton
Like many organisations in response to post COVID elective recovery and addressing the growth and imbalance between the growing need for outpatient services and our ability to meet those needs to deliver patient care, University hospital Southampton has opted to work differently to break the ground to accelerate, improve and deliver a personalised outpatient service. Despite doing more work than ever before our waiting lists continue to grow, so even when running flat out it sometimes feels as though we’re left standing still.
To address this a dedicated outpatient transformation programme was designed to align with national and organisational objectives to bring services back into equilibrium. By sharing this hopefully the take away today will be how others could do similar using continuous improvement approach.
