The NHS Senior Leaders Programme

New for 2026

The NHS Senior Leaders Programme

You'll get more done in five minutes at this table than in a year of cold outreach.

The NHS Senior Leaders Programme puts you in direct, private contact with 20 senior NHS decision-makers — CEOs, ICB Chief Officers, Procurement Directors and CDIOs — over private dinners and structured networking, alongside GIANT Health 2026 on 7–8 December 2026 in London.

This isn't a stand in an exhibition hall. It's a seat at dinner with the people who sign off your next contract, in a room built for candid conversation rather than a trade-floor pitch — the kind of connection that can genuinely scale your business.

Curated introductions matched to the challenges each leader has personally defined in advance, so conversations start from real priorities, not a generic pitch.
