Health Equity and Inclusion Conference 2026

Health Equity & Inclusion Conference 2026

Join us for an inspiring and impactful conference that brings together healthcare professionals, community organisations, policymakers, advocates, carers, and diverse communities to explore solutions to advance health equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive care.

This unique event focuses on bridging gaps in health inequalities and strengthening community care support through collaboration, education, and shared lived experiences. The conference aligns with the Department of Health and SPPG’s Neighbourhood Model of Health and Wellbeing, supporting prevention, early intervention, partnership working, community empowerment, and person-centred care within local communities.

Attendees will gain valuable insight into cultural competence, inclusive healthcare practices, advocacy, mental health awareness, and equitable access to services for marginalised and underrepresented communities.

The conference will feature:

• Expert keynote speakers and panel discussions

• Conversations on diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare

• Cultural competence and community engagement insights

• Networking opportunities with professionals and community leaders

• Community resources, support services, and partnership opportunities

• Lived experience stories that inspire change and understanding

What makes this event special is its intersectional and community-led approach, creating a safe and inclusive space where diverse voices are heard, valued, and empowered. Together, we will explore practical ways to build compassionate, accessible, and equitable healthcare and wellbeing systems for all.

Whether you work in healthcare, social care, education, community development, advocacy, or simply care about creating healthier and more inclusive communities, this conference offers an opportunity to connect, learn, collaborate, and be part of meaningful change.
