Maximising networked and system-wide working to manage ever-increasing demand and bring down diagnostic waits 

As the NHS continues to prioritise improved elective and urgent care pathways, ICS-level stakeholders are increasingly motivated and mandated to expand diagnostic capacity and reduce patient wait times. Yet, with imaging and pathology networks still in the process of maturing, developing and implementing a cohesive, system-wide diagnostics strategy remains a complex challenge. 

The HSJ Modernising Diagnostics Forum 2025 is your opportunity to join the forefront of this transformation. This one-day interactive event brings together key NHS stakeholders to drive the next wave of innovation in diagnostics, in line with the new government’s plans.  

With a focus on imaging, pathology, this forum is designed to help you explore how advancements in technology, innovative workforce models, and optimised environments are making tangible differences across the country. Connect with over 100 of your peers to discuss scalable solutions that can reduce turnaround and wait times, accelerate post-pandemic recovery, and ultimately, enhance patient outcomes. 

Join us to be part of the collective effort in modernising diagnostics for a healthier future.
