A solution which integrates with EPRs, Enovation Transfer removes manual elements of the transfer of care process, saving staff time and enabling patients safer discharge and transfer of care.

In the Hague region of the Netherlands, Enovation Transfer helped increase regional collaboration and improved how the hospitals communicate with care homes and municipalities. The project started small with four organisations in the region using Enovation transfer to enable capacity tracking and to allow sharing of the transfer of care record as they used different EHRs. Today, most healthcare organisations in the Hague region are using Enovation Transfer as part of their day-to-day routine.

Enovation Patient Journey is an online platform for healthcare professionals to configure tailored patient timelines and a mobile app for patients to receive requests, information, and communicate. This tool is used to reduce unnecessary appointments, improve patient flow, enable remote monitoring, and reduce length of stay after surgery.

We are focusing on orthopaedic surgery, although Patient Journey can be utilised for most clinical pathways.

York and Scarborough NHS Trust use Patient Journey at Bridlington Hospital for total knee and hip replacement surgery. They have seen length of stay reduce from 3 days to 2 days and in some cases, 1 day. 81% of patients surveyed (816) preferred the app to paper leaflets, 88% watched all prehab and rehab videos and 92% had their questions answered within the app, reducing the need for a phone call or appointment.

Graphnet Health will demonstrate how combining shared care records with population health analytics is helping NHS systems deliver more proactive, joined-up and efficient care.

Our Combined Intelligence for Population Health Action (CIPHA) approach brings together population health analytics for 17 million citizens with shared care records covering over 20 million people, creating one of the most comprehensive foundations for system-wide insight and collaboration in the NHS.

At the open day, you'll see how this enables clinicians, managers, analysts and digital teams to access a single, real-time view of patient information — reducing duplication, improving decision-making and saving valuable time in everyday workflows.

We'll show how our shared care record connects data across acute, community, primary and social care to support a truly data-driven system. For clinical teams, this means better-informed decisions at the point of care. For operational and transformation leads, it supports improved patient flow, streamlined pathways and reduced unwarranted variation. For digital and data teams, it provides a scalable, interoperable platform aligned to ICS priorities.

Using CIPHA, we'll also demonstrate how systems can identify at-risk cohorts earlier, target interventions more effectively and measure impact in near real time — supporting prevention, tackling health inequalities and improving productivity.

Together, these capabilities are already helping NHS organisations address their most pressing challenges: delivering more care in the community, easing workforce pressures, improving efficiency and enabling genuinely integrated care, while giving staff practical tools that make a difference day to day.

Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust — Setting the standard for inclusive care. Communication in 10+ languages, with Braille, BSL, large print and audio delivered through one joined-up digital and non-digital service. Every patient reached, every time.

The Outcome Across the NHS
Less demand. More capacity. Better access. Stronger teams. Delivered without replacing existing systems.

One Care is the GP federation for Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) and the representative body for general practice in our health system. We help our member practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) run strong, sustainable businesses by providing practical support, cost-savings and expertise across finance, digital, operations, business intelligence, human resources (HR) and communications.

Alongside our support services, we represent general practice through our membership of the BNSSG Integrated Care Board (ICB) and our GP Collaborative Board (GPCB), which provides a forum for general practice to shape system priorities and influence decisions. Our 15 Clinical Leads provide leadership to support integration between general practice, community and acute services.

We also deliver projects and programmes that support innovation, improve ways of working, or solve challenges faced by general practice and their patients. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we only take on contracts that benefit general practice and surplus income is reinvested into member services and helps keep our subscription fees as low as possible.

Our 66 member practices care for nearly a million people and span inner city, rural and coastal areas of affluence and high deprivation. As one of the largest GP federations in the UK, we have a deep understanding of the shared challenges and opportunities faced by general practice, and their diverse perspectives. This makes us well-placed to convene and speak on behalf of general practice, locally and nationally.

Our Bristol NHS Group engineers and clinical systems specialists will be available throughout the day to offer practical advice and support.

If you're having challenges with devices, business systems (like Microsoft Office, Teams and SharePoint) or clinical systems — or simply want to understand how to get more out of the tools you use day‑to‑day — please drop by for a conversation. No problem is too small, and no preparation is needed.
