Overview

Following on the growing success of the 2025 conference, NES is delighted to confirm that it will once again be hosting the conference online over two days in April 2026.

This conference is for colleagues from all professional disciplines across health and social care with an interest in education and training, workforce development and digital solutions.

There will be a number of plenary and parallel sessions run by all professional groups and an opportunity for joint sessions highlighting interprofessional learning.

The conference is sponsored by NHS Education for Scotland, and there will be no charge for participation.

As of the 1 April 2026 NHS Education for Scotland will come together with our partners NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) to create a new organisation ‘NHS Delivery’.
