Delegates will gain access to practical tools and insights to enhance care for people living with dementia and for those who support them. The conference programme features expert-led sessions, interactive workshops and collaborative discussions designed to inspire, inform and equip practitioners, researchers, policymakers and carers with fresh ideas and best practice.
Keynote address: Dementia in the NHS in England
A major highlight of the 2026 conference will be a keynote address from Dr Jeremy Isaacs, National Clinical Director for Dementia and Older People’s Mental Health at NHS England. Dr Isaacs will deliver an in-depth exploration of Dementia in the NHS in England: Achievements and Challenges, sharing insights into national priorities, current initiatives, and the evolving role of integrated care in supporting people living with dementia across England.
Shaping the future of dementia care
Mark Hawkins, Chief Executive of Rowcroft Hospice, said:
“After two incredibly successful years, this conference has become a cornerstone for those passionate about advancing dementia and palliative care. Each year we see remarkable collaboration, innovation and compassion, all focused on improving the lives of people affected by dementia. The 2026 event promises to go even further, bringing together the brightest minds and most dedicated professionals to share knowledge, inspire change and champion person-centred care. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr Jeremy Isaacs as our keynote speaker and to continue driving national conversations on how dementia and palliative care can evolve to meet future needs.”
