Hope to Action: ALLIANCE Annual Conference and AGM 2026

At a time when Scotland’s health and social care sector faces growing pressures, how can we turn hope into action and create a future where everyone can live well, with dignity and respect? The ALLIANCE Annual Conference 2026, Hope to Action, invites you to reflect on how far we’ve come while recognising that challenges remain and now is the time to turn our shared hope into positive and collective action. In celebration of the ALLIANCE’s 20th anniversary, the day will look back at the last 20 years and build upon this to create progress that is both intentional, sustainable and centred on lived experience.

Hope has always been our foundation; nurturing collaboration, compassion, and resilience across our sector. We must translate that hope into action that improves lives and strengthens communities to create lasting change.

At this conference, you will:

• Reflect on the progress and resilience that have shaped Scotland’s health and social care

• Explore how together we can turn hope into sustainable action for the future

• Hear lived experience perspectives on what meaningful change means to them

• Take part in workshops focused on inclusion, equality, and prevention

• Connect with people across sectors who share a passion for making lasting change.

Join us on 23 March 2026 at Radisson Blu Glasgow as we look back at our journey and towards a stronger future for health and social care in Scotland.

Please note that registration for our conference closes at 5pm on 19 March.
