Best Practice Birmingham 2026 has been built around a straightforward question: what will healthcare professionals take back to practice after two days at the NEC?

Taking place on 7-8 October, the event returns alongside Respiratory Professional Care for two days of free education, CPD, networking and shared learning.
With October fast approaching, delegates can begin building their own agenda across five key content streams: Clinical Updates, Practical Skills, Leadership & Service Delivery, Digital & Innovation, and Respiratory.

Across the clinical programme, delegates can explore women’s health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dermatology, multiple long-term conditions, cancer and MSK, alongside dedicated respiratory education covering asthma, COPD, spirometry, FeNO, chronic cough, pulmonary rehabilitation, sleep disorders and diagnostics. Practical Skills complements these updates with hands-on, implementation-focused learning designed around the realities of everyday care.
The agenda reaches beyond clinical conditions. CQC and governance, workforce, access, neighbourhood delivery and practice sustainability bring the operational
realities of primary care into focus, drawing on experiences from teams testing different approaches within their own services.

Technology sits within those same conversations. Across AI, digital triage, workflow, IT systems and data-driven working, sessions will examine where digital tools can support care and efficiency, alongside the questions of safety, implementation and value that accompany their use.

The value of those two days extends beyond the theatres. Conversations with peers offer a chance to compare experiences and hear how others are approaching similar challenges, while the exhibition brings many of those discussions into a different setting.

Here, delegates can explore the products, services and tools responding to those same day-to-day challenges, and speak directly with the organisations behind them. Whether that means discovering a digital solution, speaking to organisations supporting workforce and practice delivery, or continuing a conversation sparked during a session, the conference and exhibition are designed to complement one another.

What delegates take back will inevitably look different: a clinical update, a practical skill, a new connection or a solution discovered on the exhibition floor. Best Practice Birmingham gives healthcare professionals the freedom to build two days around what matters most to them.
