Conference: Patient Centricity & Engagement Conference
Date: 24th June 2026
Venue: The Grand Connaught Rooms, London
As healthcare organisations continue to navigate rapid technological change, increasing patient expectations, and growing pressure to demonstrate measurable impact, patient centricity has become a critical strategic priority across the pharmaceutical industry.
This year’s conference agenda focuses heavily on actionable engagement strategies, AI adoption, patient feedback integration, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
The conference aims to move beyond theory and provide attendees with practical insights they can apply directly within their organisations.
One of the major themes for 2026 will be how pharmaceutical organisations can strategically integrate AI into patient engagement without compromising trust, empathy, or accessibility.
Dedicated sessions will examine:

How to balance innovation with ethical considerations

Alongside technology discussions, the event will also focus on restoring and strengthening patient trust through better communication, earlier collaboration, and more inclusive engagement models.
