For NHS doctors, nurses, hospital staff, managers, and community healthcare providers, finding time to discover new technologies, meet healthcare leaders, and stay up to date with innovation can be challenging.

GIANT Health 2026 offers an opportunity to do all of this in one place — and for eligible NHS professionals, attendance is free.

Taking place on 7th and 8th December 2026 at The Business Design Centre in London, GIANT Health brings together NHS professionals, healthcare leaders, government representatives, medical technology innovators, healthtech companies, and leading start-ups for two days of in-person conferences, networking, demonstrations, and knowledge sharing.

Free to Attend for NHS Healthcare Professionals

One of the biggest reasons for NHS professionals to attend GIANT Health 2026 is simple: NHS doctors, nurses, and eligible NHS staff can attend free of charge.

The official GIANT Health ticket information confirms that the NHS Staff ticket is complimentary for NHS doctors and nurses, with registration requiring an NHS or hospital email address. The event also states that complimentary access is available for NHS hospital personnel, managers, and community health providers.

This makes GIANT Health 2026 an accessible opportunity for healthcare professionals who want to explore innovation without the cost associated with many major healthcare conferences.

Two Days of Healthcare Innovation, Learning and Networking

GIANT Health 2026 is more than a traditional conference.

It is a two-day, face-to-face healthcare innovation festival bringing together different parts of the NHS and healthcare technology ecosystem under one roof.

Attendees can expect conferences, exhibitions, product demonstrations, networking opportunities, innovation presentations, and discussions focused on the future of healthcare.

The 2026 programme includes four major shows:

• The NHS National Procurement Show – exploring procurement, value, innovation, and healthcare spending.

• The Innovating NHS Systems Congress – bringing together ICS and ICB leaders and stakeholders.

• Future Hospital Show – focused on the transformation of hospital healthcare services.

• The NHS National AI Conference – exploring artificial intelligence and its role in the NHS.

For healthcare professionals, this means the opportunity to explore multiple areas of healthcare innovation during a single visit.

Meet UK Government and NHS National Leaders

GIANT Health 2026 provides NHS professionals with opportunities to connect with senior leaders and decision-makers from across the healthcare system.

The event's programme and community bring together NHS leaders, government representatives, clinicians, innovators, and healthcare technology companies, creating opportunities for conversations that extend beyond the conference stage.

For frontline healthcare professionals, this can be particularly valuable.

You can gain insight into national priorities, hear directly from people involved in healthcare transformation, and understand how innovation is being approached across the NHS.

Discover Global Medical Technology Innovators

Healthcare technology is advancing rapidly.

Artificial intelligence, digital health, robotics, medical devices, data, and connected technologies are changing how healthcare is delivered — and healthcare professionals are increasingly at the centre of these changes.

GIANT Health 2026 gives attendees the opportunity to see new technologies and innovations first-hand, meet companies developing healthcare solutions, and explore how emerging technologies could support clinicians, patients, and healthcare organisations.

The event also features leading healthtech start-ups, including opportunities to see innovative companies present and pitch their ideas.

Network with Healthcare Professionals from Across the UK

Healthcare innovation works best when people share knowledge and experiences.

GIANT Health brings together a large community of NHS leaders, clinicians, healthcare professionals, innovators, and people working across health, technology, and business. GIANT Health says its wider community includes more than 345,000 people.

For NHS professionals, attending can therefore be an opportunity to:

• Meet colleagues from other NHS organisations.

• Share experiences and practical challenges.

• Discover how other healthcare teams are approaching innovation.

• Meet technology providers and innovators.

• Build professional relationships.

• Exchange ideas about the future of healthcare.

Bring Innovation Back to Your Organisation

Perhaps the most important benefit is what happens after the event.

The technologies and ideas you discover at GIANT Health could provide inspiration for your own hospital, department, practice, or community healthcare organisation.

You may discover a solution to an existing challenge, learn about an approach being tested elsewhere, or simply return to work with a better understanding of where healthcare technology is heading.

GIANT Health describes its mission as facilitating innovation throughout the NHS and supporting healthtech entrepreneurs and investors.

A Valuable Opportunity for Frontline Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare innovation is not only the responsibility of technology companies or senior executives.

Doctors, nurses, hospital staff, managers, and community healthcare providers are essential to understanding what works in real-world healthcare.

Your experience with patients, clinical workflows, operational challenges, and healthcare delivery provides valuable insight into whether new technologies can genuinely make a difference.

GIANT Health creates an environment where those perspectives can meet the people developing the next generation of healthcare solutions.

Who Can Attend for Free?

The complimentary NHS ticket is intended for eligible healthcare professionals, including:

• NHS doctors

• NHS nurses

• Hospital personnel

• Hospital managers

• Community healthcare providers

• Other eligible NHS staff

NHS staff should register using their NHS or hospital email address as requested by the event organiser.
