The conference committee and Advance HE warmly invites all healthcare educators from the UK and around the world to submit abstracts for sessions at the Healthcare Educators NET Conference 2026. The title for this years’ conference is “Practice ready: Journeys, transitions, and professional growth” and will take place virtually on 2 December 2026.
The NET Conference has been running for over 30 years and has become the leading UK and International conference for networking in healthcare education. Over the years, it has fostered national and international collaborations in research and education development. The 2025 conference will offer a vital space for reflection, discussion, and innovation, focussing on how healthcare education can remain sustainable amidst ongoing challenges and transformation.
Through the five themes outlined below, the conference will explore journeys, transitions and professional growth across healthcare education. As this year’s conference will take place fully virtually, it also offers an opportunity to consider the creative and innovative ways in which the sector is responding to a fast-changing educational landscape.
Together, these five thematic areas highlight key stages, challenges and opportunities across the learning journey, with a focus on how healthcare education can support workforce development and the delivery of excellence. Submissions should align with one of the following five thematic strands:
- Recruiting, retaining and nurturing the future workforce
- Regulatory standards, inclusion and fair access
- Transformative support and professional journeys
- Digital readiness for contemporary practice
- Quality, safety and evidence-based practice
