The Patient Flow Conference 2022

The Convenzis Patient Flow conference series provides a platform for NHS urgent care professionals and clinical specialists to meet and discuss changes in national policy and strategic change. Over 1500 delegates have already joined us and benefited from this high-value networking and research platform.

“First of all, can I just say what a good event it was yesterday? I personally took a lot of good ideas away from the day and made some good working connections, which will hopefully help us improve things for patients here in C&P.” Head of Transformation, Performance and Delivery – Urgent Care at Cambridgeshire & Peterborough CCG

The COVID-19 outbreak undoubtedly triggered the most challenging year the NHS has ever faced, however, the outbreak, has by default, provided a springboard for NHS facing innovation and technology adoption.

A&E attendances and emergency admissions also saw a significant reduction, the total number of attendances in January 2021 was 1,310,800, a decrease of 38.0% from the same month last year. Of these, attendances at type 1 A&E departments were 29.1% lower when compared with January 2021 and at type 3 departments were 53.4% lower.

As a key objective within the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS E/I have developed a paper that sets out how urgent and emergency care provision will be developed, drawing on outcomes and learnings from the Covid-19 outbreak.

The paper aims to deliver improved outcomes and a better experience of care, whether that is by phone or online from NHS 111, at home from a paramedic, in a GP practice or pharmacy, or when necessary, in the emergency department.

This conference has been developed as a platform to help NHS and wider healthcare professionals sharpen their knowledge of 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.

Putting patients at the centre of community services; how we do we truly transform community services to support more people to stay well and independent at home? (Confirmed)

Jenny Keane
Director for Hospital Discharge and Community Rehabilitation
NHS England

The NHS Long Term Plan set an ambition to boost ‘out of hospital’ care. Throughout the pandemic community health services have shown that delivering care to people at home is vital to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and for those who do need hospital treatment, support timely and safe discharge from hospital.

Increasing capacity in community services is crucial not only to free up hospital beds for those with the greatest clinical need, but to support people to live independently at home for longer. It will require closer collaboration across the health and social care system. How do we build on the opportunities in the integration white paper to forge effective working relationships across health and social care?

This session will explore the available opportunities to increase capacity in community services through utilising non-bedded care, care at home and through new ways of delivering care such as virtual wards.

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!
