Care Leaders' Summit 2026
Opening up access to high quality care.
Care has an access problem.
For patients, health and social care is a postcode lottery from the services available to the cost and quality of care.
For care workers and providers, the system is equally broken: hours lost on admin, outdated processes, and costly policy tools that too often fail to meet CQC standards.
It’s time for change.
The Care Leaders' Summit, convened by Health Connect Global, brings together leaders from across the care sector - care providers, political leaders, and technology innovators - to take collective action.
Together, we’re committing to open access, shared knowledge, and technology that works for care professionals.
