Advisory Board

We are delighted to have the support and guidance of the 2026 Nursing Leaders Advisory Panel.

Each member has been carefully chosen for their specific expertise and dedication to advancing healthcare and nursing through innovation.

Our panel includes leading experts who represent the diverse stakeholders involved in the health and care sector transformation, from nurse leaders to technology innovators. Their collective insights and strategic advice are invaluable in steering the event proposition and content into alignment with the challenges and opportunities facing nursing today. By guiding our agenda and helping us focus on innovation, policy shifts and practical solutions, they ensure that Nursing Leaders 2026 will inspire, empower and equip current and future nursing leaders to drive meaningful change across the health and care sectors.
