Due to logistical changes and a desire to make the event more accessible to all, the NHS Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA) has announced that the Annual National Conference 2025 will now be held exclusively online on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, from 10am to 4pm. The date and time remain the same with only the format changed.
This change will allow colleagues from across the NHS, independent care sector, hospices, and partner organisations to participate virtually, wherever they are, and engage in the dynamic discussions, presentations, and networking sessions focused on improving care for the Armed Forces community.
Prof Tim Briggs, VCHA Chair and National Lead, said: “We are thankful by the level of interest in this year’s conference, and transitioning to an online format allows us to engage a broader audience. This will provide everyone, no matter their location, the opportunity to join us and contribute to the important conversation around improving healthcare for the Armed Forces community.”
The conference will feature a wide range of keynote speakers, interactive sessions, and inspiring stories from across the healthcare and Armed Forces sectors. The event will focus on the shared progress in delivering high-quality care to the Armed Forces community, showcasing best practices, and exploring innovative ways to strengthen collaborations between organisations.
