About the conference

The SimNet Conference 2026 will take place on Thursday 25 June 2026, in partnership with Brighton and Sussex Medical School, on the University of Sussex campus.

This year’s theme, The Power of Simulation in a New NHS Era, will explore how simulation is advancing innovation, workforce development and patient safety in support of NHS priorities and the Long-Term Workforce Plan.

Tickets are held at 2025 prices. The full programme will be released in March along with links to accommodation and travel for the event.

We look forward to welcoming educators, clinicians and leaders from across the NHS and education sectors, and all those interested in connecting, sharing and shaping the future of simulation-based education and training.

If you have any questions about the event, please email the conference organisers at: simnet@bsms.ac.uk
