HIGHLIGHTS FROM BEST PRACTICE BIRMINGHAM 2025
Best Practice Birmingham 2025 arrived at the perfect time for the general practice community to come together, take stock, and look ahead to the future after the long-awaited publication of the 10-Year Health Plan.
This event, set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, offered a unique opportunity for general practitioners, practice managers, nurses, and other primary care professionals to engage in crucial discussions, share insights, and gain valuable knowledge.
Comprised of ten conference theatres, the 2026 programme will focus on five important themes:
Hospital to Community
Moving care out of hospitals and into the community, places general practice at the heart of the government’s vision for the NHS. Looking at collaboration and effective patient care within primary care networks and neighbourhoods, the conference programme examine how primary care can optimise treatment and increase access.
Analogue to Digital
Digital transformation is now a priority across the healthcare system, with the primary care sector in particular becoming a focal point for digital integration and innovation. Featuring both practical demonstrations and future-facing ‘art of the possible’ showcases, talks will extend from patient facing AI and diagnostic tools to back-office automation and system-wide integration.
Treatment to Prevention
As the focus of care focuses on prevention rather than treatment, GPs and primary care networks need a renewed focus on public health, health inequalities, behavioural change, and early diagnosis. Moving beyond primary prevention, onto secondary and tertiary, our programme will cover all aspects of preventing harm.
Long term conditions and multimorbidities
People are living longer but with more complex health conditions. This year, our programme has a renewed focus on showcasing different approaches to treatment dependent on different combinations of multimorbidity. With each clinical deep dive highlighting variation across case studies, attendees will be able to fully explore the complexity of treating long term conditions.
The Future of General Practice
With the 10 Year Health Plan published and major transformation underway across the NHS, October will be a time to explore how the next decade in general practice will look. Featuring insights from sector leaders directly involved in driving system change, key clinical and national policy updates, practical next steps for practices moving forward, and innovative case studies that showcase the art of the possible, Best Practice Birmingham is the go-to destination for anyone asking themselves ‘what next?’
