The agenda covers the most pressing challenges facing mental health and NHS leaders today, including mental health integration with physical and community health services, the left shift to neighbourhood care, digital transformation and AI in mental health settings, workforce recruitment and retention, waiting list pressures and ADHD pathways, crisis care and mental health A&E provision, patient involvement and co-production, data strategy and clinical safety, and collaboration between NHS organisations and suppliers. Sessions are shaped directly by delegate priorities.

HPN Mental Health runs as part of HPN Midlands & Mental Health across two days at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham on 23–24 June 2026. The programme includes keynote presentations in the main room, panel discussions, breakout sessions, one-to-one meetings with solution providers, and a networking dinner on the first evening. The format is designed to balance structured learning with meaningful peer connection and supplier engagement.

Yes. Breakout sessions and roundtables are selectable, so you can build a programme that reflects your organisation's priorities. Your one-to-one meetings with solution providers are scheduled around the main agenda to ensure you don't miss the sessions most relevant to you.

Yes. All delegates receive a conference guide on arrival, and digital copies of presentation materials are made available after the event. This means you can focus on the conversation in the room, knowing you'll have everything you need to share insights and act on takeaways when you're back at your organisation.

We strongly recommend attending both days to get the full benefit of the programme – including the networking dinner, where many of the most valuable conversations happen. That said, if your schedule only allows for one day, please let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
