Plenary Speakers 2026
We look forward to welcoming our plenary speakers to the CHA National Conference 2026. Each brings valuable experience from across community health and care, and will offer helpful insight into the contribution community hospitals make to their local systems.
Their sessions will explore how community hospitals support person centred care, strengthen neighbourhood teams and play an important part in delivering the aims set out in the NHS 10 Year Plan. They will also highlight the value of partnership working, local leadership and the practical innovations that help services meet the needs of their communities. Further details, including confirmed titles, will be added once finalised. Book your place today - CHA National Conference 2025 Booking Form
