We are excited to share that NHS Midlands and Lancashire (NHS ML) will be both exhibiting and speaking at the Elective Care Conference South 2023. The conference, set for 5 October 2023 at 15 Hatfields, London, promises a comprehensive look at the evolving landscape of elective care.

The conference will focus on the following key discussion points:

– Enhancing capacity and efficiency: as the demand for healthcare continues to rise, so does the need for optimised capacity and efficiency.

– Patient-centred care and experience: placing patients at the heart of all initiatives, ensuring their care experience is optimal.

– Workforce resilience and collaboration: a close examination of the synergy between different roles in the healthcare sector and the need for resilience.

– Sustainable elective care systems: exploring methods and strategies to ensure that elective care is both efficient and sustainable.

Our Head of Referral Management – Gemma Cowley will be hosting a session titled, Enabling Patient Choice – Facilitating System Mutual Aid at 9.05 am.

The conference is designed for professionals with an interest in elective care processes and is an invaluable opportunity for NHS colleagues to share best practices, demonstrate their current offerings, and provide support.
