Party conferences 2026
Representing NHS Alliance’s members in the policy debate.
Party conference season is one of the most significant moments in the political calendar, bringing together politicians, health leaders, policymakers and influencers to debate the issues shaping the future of health and care.
This year, the NHS Alliance will be on the ground at every major conference, championing the interests of our members and engaging directly with those driving policy and system reform.
As the health and care landscape continues to evolve at pace, the 2026 conference season promises to be one of the most dynamic and consequential in recent years.
With the rise of challenger parties, including Reform UK and the Green Party, alongside continued change across the political spectrum, conferences will provide a unique opportunity to understand emerging priorities, build strategic relationships and ensure the voice of NHS Alliance members is heard at the heart of political debate.
Throughout September and October, colleagues from across the NHS Alliance will attend the following party conferences:
- Reform UK (3-5 September 2026)
- Liberal Democrat (19-22 September 2026)
- Labour (27-30 September 2026)
- Green (2-4 October 2026)
- Conservative (4-7 October 2026)
The team will host events, meet with senior decision-makers and gather intelligence on the future direction of health and care policy, public service reform and cross-government working.
