The RCPharm Annual Conference 2026 takes place on Friday 6 November 2026 at 133 Houndsditch, London (EC3A 7DB) and online — the first Annual Conference held under the organisation's new status as the Royal College of Pharmacy, the UK's newest Royal College.
Theme
"Leading excellence in pharmacy — collaboration, innovation and impact." The programme brings together pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists from across the UK and beyond through presentations, panel discussions and Q&A sessions across a full day.
Closing keynote
Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE — technology innovator, author and advocate for diversity in STEM. Named the UK's Most Influential Woman in Tech, she serves as the UK Government's Women in Tech Envoy and has been President of the British Science Association and Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University. Her closing session targets building digital capability and confidence, strengthening collaboration across teams, and framing excellence not as more technology but as better, safer, more patient-centred care supported by technology.
UKCPA clinical education zone
New for 2026, an interactive education zone delivered with the UK Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA), focused on developing consultation skills through hands-on practice.
