The NHS Strategy Summit
10-Year Forward Planning Private Summit
County Hall, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 7PB
On June 26th 2025, over 300 senior leaders, 200 organisations, and key strategic partners will convene for a landmark gathering, an exclusive, high-impact day of planning and execution that will shape the future of healthcare in the UK, at County Hall, Westminster.
This summit is not just another event; it is a pivotal moment in defining the next decade of the NHS. At a time of unprecedented change and challenge, The NHS Strategy Summit-10 (NSS10) will partner with NHS organisations to bring together leaders to define the areas that will drive transformation and funding focus across the sector. The agenda is focused on the fundamental building blocks for a revitalised health system: AI, patient flow, digital transformation, preventative health, remote monitoring and virtual wards strategy, elective recovery, finances, data and AI NHS adoption, patient flow, capacity and workforce, and strengthening primary and community care through innovation.
The NHS Strategy Summit-10 (NSS10) will bring together the most influential minds in healthcare, those who will define and deliver the 10-year vision for the NHS. Through a series of thought leadership presentations, strategic planning sessions, roundtable discussions, and private one-to-one meetings, this summit is the only forum of its kind, tackling the most pressing challenges facing the system today. It will also focus on technology to drive integrated systems and clinical systems impact, mental health and living well strategies, women’s health strategies, population management strategy, ADHD strategies, and more.
