About this Event
We are excited to announce the third Health Innovation North Conference, where we will explore cutting-edge solutions that drive improvements in population health and foster economic growth. The conference is hosted by the four Northern Health Innovation Networks (North West Coast, Manchester, Yorkshire & Humber, and North East & North Cumbria).
The event will be held on Thursday 22nd October 2026 at the Hilton Newcastle Tyne Bridge and promises to be an informative and inspiring platform for healthcare professionals, innovators, and stakeholders to collaborate and create a healthier future for our community.
Through a series of engaging presentations, workshops and panel sessions, Health Innovation North will encourage innovative thinking, and present the health and care concepts, that are being quickly and effectively adopted as best practice by the NHS, and the wider healthcare system.
Health Innovation North will deliver a fantastic opportunity to discover innovative solutions, engage with thought leaders, and be part of the growing health innovation community in the North of England region.
