Annual National Conference
Stronger Together. Safer Together
2025 Headline Sponsor
As one of the largest perioperative gatherings in the UK, the two-day AfPP Annual National Conference, which took place on 8 – 9 August 2025, was a resounding success, from insightful speaker sessions, a sell-out exhibitor hall to the incredible delegate turnout, this year was bigger and better than before.
The conference featured 6 different learning streams which hosted 30+ expert speakers, ran Virtual Reality workshops, introduced the highly successful new Wellbeing steam and launched the brand-new AfPP Events app.
Our new conference app did just what we hoped, the interactivity for attendees, exhibitors and our volunteers increased ten-fold! With fantastic features such as ‘points pursuit’, session Q&A’s and selfie cam, the element of fun and involvement was something to behold.
A highlight of the event is always the Gala Dinner, this year brought an evening of rodeo style celebration, networking, and entertainment, and, of course, the chance to get dressed up.
Designed to inspire, inform and empower.
2026 details will be shared soon – keep your eyes peeled!
It was fantastic to see hundreds of ODPs and perioperative professionals from across the UK come together to share knowledge, discuss important topics, and connect with colleagues. The sessions were insightful, the topics highly relevant, and the speakers truly inspiring.
From the moment we arrived to the very end, everything was organised perfectly.
I had such a great time at the AfPP Annual National Conference! As a student, it was an amazing opportunity to learn from inspiring perioperative professionals, hear fresh perspectives on patient safety, and see how the theory we study comes to life in practice. The chance to connect with passionate, experienced people in the field has left me feeling motivated and excited for my future career in perioperative care. I’m so grateful to be part of a profession that truly works Stronger Together.
A big thank you to AfPP and everyone involved in organising such a welcoming, engaging, and inspiring event!
