NetZeroNHS 2026: The 3rd Convenzis NHS Sustainability & Innovation Conference

All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate

A Strategic conference on Building a Climate-Resilient and Sustainable NHS

The NHS is working towards one of the most ambitious environmental goals in the public sector: achieving net-zero emissions for its direct carbon footprint by 2040 and for its wider footprint by 2045. These targets, aligned with the 10 Year Health Plan and national sustainability commitments, represent a transformative shift in how care is delivered, energy is consumed, and resources are managed across the NHS.

With the publication of the Fourth Health and Climate Adaptation Report, there is now a clear national mandate to embed climate resilience into healthcare delivery, ensuring that every Integrated Care System (ICS) and provider plays an active role in decarbonisation while protecting population health. The challenge is no longer about awareness, but about practical delivery: retrofitting estates, electrifying transport, greening supply chains, and embedding sustainable digital and clinical models of care. The NetZeroNHS 2026 conference provides a collaborative platform for NHS leaders to turn these ambitions into measurable, system-wide outcomes.

Conference Focus:

The NetZeroNHS 2026 conference is a premier event for sharing best practices and innovations, designed to help NHS professionals move from awareness to applied implementation. Delegates will gain hands-on frameworks, tested delivery models, and peer-derived insights on how to embed safe, equitable, and sustainable transformation within their services.

Dedicated Skill Clinics will provide practical tools, templates, and checklists for reducing emissions across estates, supply chains, and digital infrastructure. Lessons Learned Sessions will offer candid reflections from NHS leaders who have navigated implementation barriers, from retrofitting and transport decarbonisation to waste reduction and digital sustainability.

This is not a showcase of what to achieve, but a skills exchange on how to achieve it, translating national ambition into measurable improvement.

This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:

• Aligning local sustainability strategies with the NHS Net Zero and Climate Adaptation plans.
• Improving operational and digital resilience through low-carbon infrastructure and green digital principles.
• Strengthening workforce and system capability to embed sustainability in everyday practice.
• Enhancing governance, procurement, and reporting to support accountable net-zero delivery.
• Delivering measurable reductions in emissions across estates, logistics, and clinical operations.
• Improving health equity and patient wellbeing through access to green spaces and nature-based prescribing.

What’s New for 2026:

• Morning & Afternoon Skill Clinics: immersive sessions focused on actionable tools, checklists, and templates delegates can implement immediately.
• Lessons Learned Sessions: real-world reflections from NHS leaders detailing what went wrong, what changed, and what succeeded.
• Peer Learning Circles: small-group exchanges to explore common challenges and co-design solutions across ICBs and provider collaboratives.
• Action-Driven Case Studies: showcasing not only outcomes achieved, but how results were delivered through process and workforce innovation.
