The CSP Annual Conference 2026 takes place 19–20 October 2026 at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, bringing together thousands of physiotherapy professionals for two days of learning, networking and innovation. It is the flagship event of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the professional, educational and trade union body representing the UK's 67,000 chartered physiotherapists, physiotherapy students and support workers.
This year's theme
The 2026 programme explores the power of prevention in physiotherapy — how the profession moves upstream from treating illness to preventing it, keeping people active, independent and out of hospital.
Four programme streams
- Rehabilitation: Recovery to Resilience
- Advancing Women's Health
- Collaboration in Action
- Workforce Transformation
Programme format
Two full days of workshops, platform and poster presentations, symposia, panel debates and keynote lectures, alongside a large exhibition and a networking reception. Sessions blend clinical evidence, service innovation and workforce/leadership content, so the meeting serves clinicians, researchers, educators, managers and support workers alike.
Student conference — free
Student members can attend a dedicated full-day CSP Student Conference on 19 October free of charge (limited in-person availability), or join the main conference at a heavily discounted student rate.
