CHA National Conference 2025

Update from the CHA Committee 

Following careful consideration, the CHA Committee has made the decision to reschedule the National Conference from October 2025 to 7th and 8th May 2026 at the Delta Marriott in Swindon.

This change reflects the current challenges across the NHS, including organisational restructuring, financial pressures and workforce constraints. We’ve listened to our member concerns about releasing staff and securing funding this autumn, and we believe that postponing the event will enable broader participation and maximise its value.

The additional time will allow us to strengthen planning, secure sponsorship and ensure the high quality of the event is maintained.

We remain fully committed to the 2025 Innovation and Best Practice Awards. The calibre of submissions has been outstanding, and we look forward to continuing to share and celebrate these achievements in the months ahead.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to welcoming you in May 2026.

"This was a truly inspiring and energising conference.

Meeting so many teams from around the UK and indeed Japan was a pleasure.

The diversity of discussion and networking was brilliant, and the quality of the plenary sessions and the workshops was excellent.

Can't wait for next year!"
