UHUK Annual Conference 2025

Innovation, Integration, Impact: Mission Driven Urgent Care

Join us on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 October 2025 at the Staverton Park Hotel, Daventry, for the UHUK Annual Conference, where we’ll explore the social enterprise urgent and integrated care sector’s role in delivering the vision set out in the Government's 10-year plan for the NHS.

With a focus on neighbourhood health, digital innovation, and integrated working, the conference will showcase how mission-driven providers are responding to national priorities while meeting local needs. Through real-world examples, expert panels, and peer-led discussion, we’ll reflect on what’s next for urgent care – and how we stay ahead of the curve. It’s also a chance to connect with colleagues from across the country, share learning, and build the relationships that drive change.
