The agenda covers the most pressing challenges facing NHS and mental health leaders today, including digital transformation in practice, the NHS 10-Year Plan one year on, AI adoption and data strategy, collaboration across primary, secondary, community, and mental health services, left shift to neighbourhood and community care, clinical safety and innovation, workforce development, and the integration of mental health into wider system transformation. Sessions are shaped directly by delegate priorities.

HPN Midlands runs 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, which is 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.
