    Health Beyond Hospitals

    Advancing virtual, community and mental health care

    UK healthcare systems are shifting away from traditional hospital-based care toward more connected, digitally enabled and community-focused models. Driven by the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, the Medium-Term Planning Framework (2026/27–2028/29) and the April 2026 ICB strategic commissioning mandate, there is increasing pressure to deliver more accessible, sustainable and patient-centred services.

    This high-profile one-day forum brings together healthcare leaders, clinicians, policymakers, community organisations, and industry partners to explore how health and care services can be redesigned to support vulnerable and underserved populations better.

    What we’ll talk about

    We will examine how integrated, digitally enabled, and community-based care models can reduce pressure on acute services while improving outcomes, equity, access, and patient experience, with a particular focus on populations that are hardest to reach and most underserved.

    • Integrated neighbourhood and community care

      How digitally enabled, community-based models are reducing pressure on acute services and delivering coordinated care where people live. From virtual wards and remote monitoring to neighbourhood health teams and integrated care pathways.

    • From data to delivery

      How shared care records, population health management, and digital insights enable neighbourhood teams to anticipate demand, coordinate care, and measure what changes, moving from reactive response to proactive, scalable delivery.

    • Equity, patient engagement and mental health

      Addressing the populations and services that are most underserved and in need of a digital transformation that works for them, not around them. From community mental health and crisis intervention to patient-owned data, digital inclusion, co-designed care and prison healthcare.

    HIMSS is an inclusive organisation that recognises care across all settings, involving all providers. As such, this event reaffirms our commitment to the broader healthcare ecosystem, including community and virtual care, prevention, mental health, underserved populations, and services that are often underfunded, undervalued and underrepresented.
