Nursing Live, brought to you by RCNi, returns to Hall 2 at the NEC Birmingham on 9–10 November 2026 with the theme "Shaping the future of nursing — Celebrate, Collaborate, Innovate." Entry is free with a registered ticket.
Two days of free CPD
With over 200 speakers across two days, Nursing Live is one of the largest free CPD opportunities available to UK nurses. Delegates build their own timetable from panel discussions, keynotes and practical sessions, and log the hours towards revalidation.
Four content areas
- Careers, learning and development — new skills, CPD hours, and direct access to recruiters
- Nursing today — the latest clinical practice updates supporting evidence-based care
- Medtech and pharma — new devices, innovations and evidence-based research on the exhibition floor
- Lifestyle and wellbeing — sessions and exhibitors focused on nurses' own health
More than a conference
Alongside the CPD theatres there is yoga, the Compassion Café, exhibitor discounts for nurses, and open networking space. Nursing Live ambassadors and podcast recordings run across both days.
Who it is for
Students, healthcare support workers, registered nurses across every specialty, advanced practitioners and senior nurse leaders.
