07

We recommend attending both events, if possible, as each offers its own unique benefits.

Best Practice Birmingham is the larger national event that takes place in October at the NEC and offers a broader geographic reach for attendees and exhibitors. It is also co-located with Respiratory Health, making it particularly valuable for professionals with an interest in respiratory care.

Best Practice London takes place in March, is co-located with Women's Health Professional Care, and primarily serves healthcare professionals from London, the Southeast, and surrounding regions.

We strongly recommend attending both events to access different educational content, networking opportunities, and regional perspectives. But, if you can only attend one event, consider factors such as location, timing, your learning objectives and the specialist content that is most relevant to your role.

08
