NHS Confederation conference returns to Liverpool again

ACC LIVERPOOL has confirmed the return of NHS Confederation – one of the most high profile healthcare conferences in the UK – for the fourth time.
 
Around 2,500 delegates are expected to attend the conference next June, which is estimated to be worth £4.7m to the local economy and brings together healthcare leaders from across the NHS to discuss the evolving NHS landscape and share best practice.

NHS Confederation held its annual conference and exhibition at the venue in June this year, with speakers included Jeremy Hunt MP, secretary of state for health, and shadow health secretary Andy Burnham MP.

Matt Tee, chief operating officer at the NHS Confederation, said: “Our decision to return to ACC Liverpool is based on past good experiences at the venue over the years. They understand our requirements which enables us to focus on the running of the event to ensure delegates enjoy a positive experience.”
 
The news comes after ACC Liverpool recently confirmed four medical associations will return to the venue. The National Cancer Research Institute conference will return this year and again in 2014. The British Society of Gastroenterology will return in 2016 and 2019; the British HIV Association and the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV will hold their third joint conference at ACC Liverpool in 2014 and the British Society of Immunology will return in 2013, 2016 and 2019.
 
Kerrin MacPhie, director of sales at ACC Liverpool, said: “As well as being fantastic to host, NHS Confederation helps to raise the profile of the city through its varied programme of significant speakers and important issues.”
