VHS Annual Conference: Collaboration for Change

We are proud to announce Public Health Scotland (PHS) as our collaboration partner for our Annual Conference.

This year’s VHS Annual Conference invites leaders, researchers, community voices, and changemakers to think differently about how we work together across sectors, communities, and perspectives. Expect inspiring stories, fresh ideas, and practical examples that show how collaboration can spark real, lasting impact. We'll also have a great group of exhibitors in our first ever Health Creation Hub!

Speakers include:

• Johanna Davies, Head of Health and Social Care, Wales Council for Voluntary Action

• Professor Devi Sridhar, Chair of Global Public Health, University of Edinburgh

• Audrey MacDougall, Chief Social Researcher, Scottish Government

• Nicola McEwen, Director, Centre for Public Policy

• Manira Ahmad, Chief Officer, Public Health Scotland

• Billy McClean, Chief Officer, Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership

• Tejesh Mistry, Chief Executive, Voluntary Health Scotland

Together, we’ll explore how shared vision and collective action can drive progress, strengthen partnerships, and shape a healthier, fairer Scotland.
