As of 2026, over a third of Scotland’s population is living with at least one long-term health condition, a statistic that places immense and sustained pressure on the NHS and social care systems. This critical conference addresses the urgent need for a more unified, cross-cutting framework of care that can adapt to the rising tide of multi-morbidity—where patients are managing multiple complex conditions simultaneously. The current model of fragmented, single-disease focused care is no longer sustainable, and this forum seeks to explore the practical shifts required to deliver more equitable and integrated support across all Scottish regions.
The program focuses on turning strategic high-level ambition into tangible frontline change. We will examine the role of data-driven preventative care and the integration of digital health tools that allow for better remote monitoring and patient self-management. A significant portion of the day is dedicated to addressing the "postcode lottery" of care, looking at how health boards can harmonize their provision to ensure that a patient in the Highlands receives the same quality of multi-disciplinary support as one in the Central Belt.
Delegates will hear from clinical leads, policy architects, and patient advocacy groups who are pioneering new ways of working. We will discuss the impact of the latest Scottish Government health frameworks and how community-based assets can be better utilized to reduce avoidable hospital admissions. With the workforce under continued strain, the conference also highlights the importance of supporting the wellbeing of carers and staff. This event is an essential briefing for health and social care professionals committed to redesigning services that are fit for the demographic realities of 2026 and beyond.
