About this Event

Tomorrow’s Healthcare Today: Leeds Research and Innovation Conference 2026
Hosted by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
Powered by partnership with Health Innovation Leeds


Tomorrow’s Healthcare Today: Leeds Research and Innovation Conference 2026 brings together colleagues, academics, partners, community organisations and regional leaders to showcase the ideas, partnerships and discoveries transforming care for patients.

Building on the success of our 2025 event – which welcomed over 400 attendees, 70 speakers and more than 60 research posters – this year’s conference takes a bold, city-wide approach, reflecting the strength of collaboration across Leeds and the support of Leeds Academic Health Partnership.

Leeds is proud to be one of the top five research delivery centres in the UK and among the top three locations for healthtech innovation. This is where ideas are tested at pace, partnerships drive progress, and research makes a real difference to people’s lives.

Whether you are already involved in research and innovation, or simply curious about how you can get started, this event offers an opportunity to connect, learn and be inspired.


What to expect

  • Inspiring keynote speakers and panel discussions
  • Interactive workshops and networking opportunities
  • Research posters showcasing pioneering work
  • Opportunities to build new collaborations
  • Real examples of research improving patient care


Why attend?

Research and innovation doesn’t happen in isolation – it happens every day, across our hospitals, universities and partner organisations. Many of the most impactful ideas come from staff who see first-hand how care can be improved for patients and communities.

The conference celebrates the people behind this work and highlights how, together, we are shaping the future of healthcare locally, nationally and globally.

Join us as we spotlight world-leading research, share best practice and strengthen the partnerships that help turn ideas into life-changing care.
