Event Programme

Nursing Live is a celebration of nursing. This year’s programme will be packed with useful and insightful sessions for all nursing staff, facilitating learning, insight, growth and that all-important participatory CPD for revalidation.

Spanning four theatres, two workshop areas and a therapeutic space, topics covered will support you in your personal and professional growth so you can leave Nursing Live feeling updated, rejuvenated, refreshed and empowered.

New for 2025

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for a nurse to get the recognition they deserve at Nursing Live with Nursing Live's DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. We’ll be honouring a nurse with this award live on the main stage on day two of the event. Look out for details of how to nominate a colleague you think has gone above and beyond when delivering compassionate care.

PLUS we’re excited to create two new features designed to improve your experience of attending Nursing Live:

Themed networking – Don’t leave meeting the right people to chance at the water cooler! We will be hosting facilitated networking sessions for different groups throughout the two days.

Mental health first aid – with so much discussion around self-care and the psychological impact of nursing, we’re conscious sessions on some topics can affect people emotionally. That’s why we’ve teamed up with charity partner Oasis Mental Health Support who will be providing support onsite.

Other session themes include:

Day one Day two
Tackling health inequalities Digital nursing
Primary care nursing Children’s nursing
Cancer nursing Students and newly registered nurses
Social care nursing Greener health and social care
Digital nursing Social care nursing
Adult nursing Mental health nursing
Children’s nursing Careers and professional skills
Safeguarding Nursing workforce

  Leadership and development

Additionally, our workshop and Compassion Cafe spaces will feature interactive discussions, therapeutic workshops and practical advice on topics from mindfulness and empathy to applying for grant funding and getting published.
