Driving innovation through learning and collaboration at NHS ConfedExpo
The NHS is at a pivotal moment. The Government’s 10 Year Health Plan sets out an ambitious reform agenda to put the health service on a sustainable footing, and leaders across health and care face the dual challenge of managing ongoing operational pressures while driving transformation in care models, patient outcomes and staff experience.
The change required is practical and measurable: adopting innovations that spread faster and working collaboratively across the system. NHS ConfedExpo is where the system comes together to make that happen, and this year’s event promises to be the most important yet.
“It’s a brilliant opportunity for us to share great work and for us to learn and solve our challenges together. Make sure you're there.”
Delegate, NHS ConfedExpo 2025
