Independent medical education provider, Nexus Healthcare Education (Nexus HE), found that almost every clinician surveyed after attending the live expert sessions it organised for the European Society of Hypertension Congress (ESH) 2026 intended to change or improve their practice.
The sessions were part of a wider educational programme, which began with an immersive learning experience.
More than 1,700 healthcare professionals – equivalent to 76% of Congress delegates – visited Nexus HE’s AI-enabled Patient Journey Learning Room, centred around a large digital wall, during the event in Gdańsk.
Combining visual storytelling with audio narration, the experience was designed to highlight underlying drivers of hypertension, such as aldosterone dysregulation, which can contribute to serious heart and kidney damage.
The interactive learning experience was designed by the globally accredited provider to deepen clinicians’ awareness of the multiple causes of persistent hypertension.
It was then followed by four live expert sessions attended by 431 medical professionals – more than double Nexus HE’s target. Post-assessment surveys recorded an average 22% increase in knowledge. Every respondent reported greater confidence and understanding, with 98% intending to improve practice as a result.
Delegates were also invited to explore personalised pathways, clinical scenarios, and pre-approved scientific evidence via a CME-accredited AI learning platform. The Ask AI function received 534 questions in 18 languages – 35% of which focused on aldosterone dysregulation.
The platform reached 1,069 clinicians over time, with 702 healthcare professionals downloading a practical digital resource to continue learning beyond the Congress.
The programme reached 2,310 unique learners in total and generated 3,945 engagements at and following the Congress, reflecting Nexus HE’s commitment to targeted, accessible, outcome-driven programmes that help clinicians translate evolving evidence into practice.
Emily Harrison, Managing Director of Nexus HE, said: “Busy congresses are a unique opportunity to reach healthcare professionals, provided it’s possible to capture and maintain their interest. Great education not only gets noticed but helps clinicians get involved. It invites them to examine the evidence and connect it to their own patients, so they feel more confident applying what they have learnt in real-world clinical environments”.
The programme – supported by an independent educational grant from AstraZeneca – was designed to be scaled and adapted across other events, healthcare systems, and therapeutic areas, as part of Nexus HE’s mission to drive real-world, in-clinic change.
