The HSJ Provider Summit brings together over 100 of the NHS’s most senior trust leaders for two days of strategic dialogue, peer learning and solution-driven debate.
Against the backdrop of the 10-Year Health Plan and the first wave of Integrated Health Organisations and Neighbourhood Health pioneers, the Summit will address how boards can deliver sustainable improvement, financial resilience and renewed public confidence in the health service.
Delegates will explore how the NHS can shift from short-term firefighting to long-term transformation — through new funding models, workforce innovation, and accountable community care.
What will be discussed, and how has the landscape evolved over the past year?
Financial resilience and sustainable futures: How providers can move from deficit management to stability through multi-year planning, outcomes-based funding, and “year-of-care” models.
Neighbourhood care at scale: What the first 42 neighbourhood health pioneers are learning, and how trusts can lead accountable local partnerships.
The workforce of tomorrow: Building adaptable, AI-enabled teams and restoring morale amid workforce contraction and rising demand.
Governance in flux: Redrawing the Centre-Local contract after the DHSC–NHSE merger and the arrival of Integrated Health Organisations.
Transparency and legitimacy: Navigating new public “league tables” and live data scrutiny to strengthen trust and culture.
Digital and AI in the productivity equation: How to distinguish real efficiency gains from hype — and turn innovation into measurable results.
Prevention, inequality and public confidence: Moving from aspiration to accountability in tackling disparities and rebuilding the NHS’s social contract.
Mark your calendar for 16–17 April 2026 at the Park Regis Hotel, Birmingham — and be part of the debate shaping the NHS of the next decade.
