An IT upgrade failure in West Yorkshire caused 10,000 blood tests lost or delayed, exposing patients to potential harm.Histopathology labs are struggling to meet turnaround KPIs—only 98% of tests processed within 10 days in pilot sites—due to staff shortages and legacy infrastructure.Meanwhile, digital pathology adoption varies greatly across regions, and reliance on outdated messaging standards (UN‑EDIFACT/Read Code) prevents full interoperability and slows result delivery.Timeliness of the EventLaunched 3 July 2025, the NHS 10‑Year Health Plan outlines three bold shifts—hospital → community, analogue → digital, sickness → prevention—and identifies diagnostics as a key enabler.The Institute of Biomedical Science states pathology underpins early detection and equitable screening, yet stresses that community services and home-testing require quality governance and workforce investment.With a £3.4 bn capital commitment to data and tech from 2025/26, there's now funding to drive digital pathology transformation. This summit arrives at a pivotal moment—when national ambition meets local implementation needs.Key Subjects CoveredDigital transformation: Scaling digital histopathology, AI‑aided slide reporting, full adoption of FHIR standards, and retiring legacy messaging frameworks.Workload & staffing resilience: Addressing workforce shortages through career pipelines, advanced roles, and training consistent with the NHS Workforce Plan.Infrastructure & resilience: Mitigating IT failure risks by strengthening lab information management systems, service continuity, and cybersecurity.Governance & standards: Ensuring accreditation, quality control, and interoperability across community and hospital settings, aligning with IBMS guidance.Operational innovation: Embedding digital workflow pilots—with real-world pathology hubs extending services into neighbourhood centres as specified by the Plan.Patient safety & backlogs: Creating real‑time monitoring, early-warning models, and recovery strategies to prevent issues like the West Yorkshire test losses.Why AttendThis summit is vital for laboratory directors, ICS commissioners, biomedical scientists, digital leads, and risk managers:Understand strategic alignment: Learn how pathology services can underpin the NHS Plan’s shift to community-based, digitally enabled care.Explore digital-first blueprints: Hear from labs leading digital transformation—including AI-supported histopathology and FHIR migration.Acquire resilience tools: Get templates for IT risk management, lab system redundancy planning, and cyber incident response.Strengthen workforce strategies: Discover workforce development models drawing on advanced roles and local training initiatives.Ensure governance excellence: Share frameworks for quality assurance, accreditation, and governance in both hospital and community settings.Network across sectors: Connect with national bodies (IBMS, RCPath), tech providers, NHS leadership, and frontline lab teams delivering diagnostics.Leave with implementation guides: Walk away with digital transformation roadmaps, AI integration models, workforce plans, and quality regimes tailored for pathology.https://www.convenzis.co.uk/events/6th-nhs-pathology-conferenceAgenda?: 08:30 AM - 09:30 AMRegistration & Networking?: 09:30 AM - 09:40 AMChair Opening Address?: 09:40 AM - 10:00 AMKeynote Presentation - The Role of Pathology in Delivering NHS 2035?: 10:00 AM - 10:30 AMBIVDA Q&A Session: Diagnostics at the Heart of NHS Transformation: Innovation,?: 10:30 AM - 10:50 AMMain Sponsor - Analogue to Digital: Revolutionising Pathology to Cut Diagnosti?: 11:00 AM - 11:50 AMMorning Break & Networking?: 11:50 AM - 11:50 AMChair Morning Reflection?: 11:55 AM - 12:15 PM Case Study - ProfilerLive?: 12:15 PM - 12:35 PMCase Study - Aiforia?: 12:35 PM - 12:55 PMFire-side Interview - Building the Pathology Network of the Future: Lessons fr?: 12:55 PM - 01:15 PMCase Study - InterSystems?: 01:15 PM - 02:00 PMLunch & Networking?: 02:00 PM - 02:05 PMChair Afternoon Address?: 02:05 PM - 02:25 PMCase Study - Diagnexia?: 02:25 PM - 02:45 PMPanel Q&A: People at the Core?: 02:45 PM - 03:05 PM Case Study?: 03:05 PM - 03:25 PMKeynote Presentation - Data, Governance & Safety in Pathology IT?: 03:25 PM - 03:45 PMPathology as a Catalyst for NHS Transformation Panel Discussion?: 03:50 PM - 05:00 PMHot Buffet Food & Drinks - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/birmingham/6th-nhs-pathology-conference-improving-nhs-diagnostics/100001710187911079 - **Event Categories**: business, nonprofit, conferences, workshops, health-wellness, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2F6th-nhs-pathology-conference-improving-nhs-diagnostics-tickets-1710187911079 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Birmingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: thestudio... - **lat**: 52.4797309 - **long**: -1.8980251 - **full address**: thestudio..., 7 Cannon Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Convenzis (https://allevents.in/org/convenzis/18270154) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e1af6799fc8939ba1196d2f3927c56c77d00e7dde9042d2aa8e05c50f21c6936-rimg-w750-h750-dc12737c-gmir.jpg?v=1759489353 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ebfbbdf0f0f584bd9ae92037a1de581df1e30cb4d25c7e17b70a9a11de15dd84-rimg-w400-h400-dc13737c-gmir.jpg?v=1759489353 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
