The Convenzis series has welcomed over 2000 NHS based primary care leaders, 150 sector-leading guest speakers and 100 innovative and forward-thinking event sponsors. We are very excited to bring this long-standing virtual event to an in-person setting!

NHS England have committed to helping primary care providers transform services nationally and help them delivery improved care and treatment for patients.

The Fuller Stocktake set out the need for a distinguished and personalised patient offer and recommended the creation of integrated neighbourhood teams along with at-scale working to improve same day access for urgent care and personalised care for those who need it most.

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.

Key national commitment 2022/2023
• Improve access to general practice by increasing the number of appointments, enabled by the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), and supporting primary care networks to deliver the enhanced access service.
• Support retention of the primary care workforce and the recruitment to and embedding of multidisciplinary team roles through continuing to deliver a suite of GP recruitment and retention initiatives and increasing the capacity of direct patient care roles in primary care via the ARRS.
• Support the delivery of personalised care by publishing the personalised care specification as part of the primary care Direct Enhanced Services contract, developing clear guidance for the operation of personalised care and embedding personalised care training through the Personalised Care Institute.
• Leverage the benefits of community pharmacy through supporting the implementation of (1) the GP referral pathway for the community pharmacist consultation service, (2) the smoking cessation service at discharge from hospital and (3) the implementation of the community discharge medication service.
• Support improved access to community dentistry and the continued restoration of primary dental services.
• Support community services transformation through developing new models of care, such as Hospital at Home and urgent community response teams, implementing a new intermediate care framework and supporting implementation of electronic patient records.
