Call for Innovation!

The Patient Village is a dedicated space at the heart of the exhibition, designed to amplify patient voices and drive meaningful change in health and care.

Bringing together patients, advocates, healthcare professionals, industry and policymakers, it creates a space to connect, share experiences and explore practical solutions to real-world challenges.

Across the day, the Village will showcase practical advice, transformative innovations and powerful campaigns that are improving care, strengthening patient involvement and influencing the future of healthcare.

As part of this, we are inviting submissions to the Best Practice Poster Showcase, offering a platform to share work that is making a real impact.
