UKAuthority’s flagship virtual conference returns in May 2026 to unite NHS, local government, social care and trusted suppliers around the practical delivery of integrated, neighbourhood based care.
The NHS 10 year plan is now in its delivery phase, with new planning and commissioning frameworks that explicitly depend on partnership with local authorities and joined up data across health and social care. This conference is designed to support the people doing the work: adult social care, public health, NHS and ICB leaders, digital and transformation leaders, commissioners and information governance leads, and the innovators building capability on the ground.
We will focus on the three end-to-end shifts:
From hospital to community: what does 'neighbourhood health at pace' mean in practice, and how do integrated neighbourhood teams, intermediate care, reablement, virtual wards and housing linked pathways work as one system, not separate programmes? From analogue to digital: the NHS App is being positioned as a digital by default operating model for access, triage, planned care pathways and prevention. How do we make the digital front door work for citizens, professionals and carers, while avoiding digital exclusion and creating real capacity release rather than extra demand? From sickness to prevention: strategic commissioning is being reframed around linked, re identifiable person level data and neighbourhood level insight. How will systems target proactive support to the cohorts most likely to need it, and how do we measure impact in ways that are meaningful to both NHS and local government? And the enabling reality:
Social care digitisation is accelerating, alongside work on the bridging Social Care Interoperability Platform. Meanwhile the Better Care Fund and shared records programmes are moving into cross organisational boundary sharing. What can be delivered credibly in 2026, and what must be put in place now to make single record ambitions achievable later? Join policy makers, technology leaders, and innovators driving the delivery of the NHS 10 year plan to deliver the three key, end-to-end shifts, and explore where AI, digital, data and technology has a vital role to play in the integration of health and social care.

Nursing is central to patient safety, quality of care and the sustainability of health systems, yet its contribution is frequently undervalued in policy and practice).
This seminar will present an overview of the existing international and UK evidence on the association between safe nurse staffing and patient and staff outcomes, including mortality, failure‑to‑rescue and quality of care.
It will examine how inadequate staffing is linked to missed care, preventable harm, staff burnout and attrition, contributing to the widening workforce crisis across health and care systems.
Attention will be paid to the gendered nature of the nursing workforce, with women comprising nearly nine in ten registrants in the UK, and how structural inequities, misrecognition and limited professional agency shape decision‑making about safety and workforce investment.
Positioning nursing as a critical yet often invisible ‘safety net’, this session demonstrates that patient safety cannot be meaningfully addressed without nursing workforce evidence at its core.
Speaker: Dr Kate Kirk, Associate Director of Nursing Workforce Academy, Royal College of Nursing and Prof Amanda Adegboye, Head of Workforce Research, Royal College of Nursing
