Connect with Peers

Norfolk and Suffolk Health and Care Expo 2026 is a great way for you to connect with those interested in health and care across Norfolk and Suffolk. Attendance is absolutely free-of-charge and EVERYONE is welcome from across the NHS, social care, local government, the voluntary and community sector, educators and innovators and those who represent local residents and patients – but you must register in advance to attend. A key theme for the event this year is ‘Rural Health’ and as such the day will include a relevant celebrity appearance, a dedicated ‘rural health zone’ and rural health presentations and sessions.

As part of Expo, there will also be the first Norfolk and Suffolk Health and Care Awards 2026. The awards are open to anyone working in any sector in health and care across Norfolk and Suffolk. There are eight categories this year with trophies and certificates presented to winners and runners up at a show stopping awards ceremony during the afternoon. Further information about the Awards including details about the eight award categories, the judging process and entry forms are also available on the Expo website. The closing date for nominations is Friday 22nd May 2026.
