Are you heading to NHS ConfedExpo?

NHS ConfedExpo is one of the largest annual health and care conferences in the UK. 

Taking place in Manchester on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 June 2024, it’s an opportunity to share learning and best practice, network and connect with a wide range of people across the sector. 

Across the two-day event there will be talks, workshops and panel discussions on a range of themes, from quality, transformation and innovation, to health inequalities improvement.

Tickets are free for NHS, local government and wider public sector staff. We’re exhibiting alongside the Health Foundation, so we hope to see many members there! You’ll find us on stand A9.

A key focus for ConfedExpo is the networking opportunities. As a part of this, Q members and colleagues are warmly invited to use the space at our stand for informal meetings and discussions. 

We’ll also be running some ​‘Chat and connect’ sessions, where we’ll provide some conversation prompt cards to help you to start chatting with someone new.

‘Collaboration and partnerships’ is one of the themes of the conference. 

We’re building up capacity and connecting the dots between work happening that’s spread across the UK. 

Though this partnership, you’ll see us appearing in a couple of sessions throughout the conference:
