PCCS 9th Annual Conference: New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Care
Taking place virtually on 24–25 September 2026, the PCCS 9th Annual Conference, New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Care, will provide two days of practical education, expert discussion and the latest developments in cardiovascular disease prevention and management. The fully virtual format means healthcare professionals can join from anywhere, making it easier than ever to access high-quality learning and connect with colleagues from across the four nations.
Building on the success of last year's conference, the event promises the same high-quality educational experience that delegates have come to expect from PCCS.
This year's agenda focuses on the future of cardiovascular care, exploring innovations that are already beginning to reshape primary care practice. Delegates can look forward to sessions covering cardiovascular risk management, prevention strategies, emerging therapies including the growing role of GLP-1 medicines in cardiovascular health, digital innovation, and the latest approaches to improving patient outcomes. The programme will also examine differences in policy and practice across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, providing valuable insights for clinicians working throughout the UK.
The conference will feature a wide range of respected speakers, such as Dr Miriam Pikkematt and John Weinman, and clinical leaders from across primary and secondary care, offering evidence-based updates, real-world experience and practical advice that can be applied immediately in practice. Importantly, attendees will have opportunities to ask questions, engage with expert faculty, such as Faye Windsor and Dr Emily Turner, and gain clarity on some of the most pressing challenges currently facing cardiovascular care.
This year's conference will also mark a significant moment for the Society. It will be the final Annual Conference led by PCCS President Prof Raj Thakkar, whose presidency has helped guide the organisation through a period of growth, educational innovation and increased engagement across the cardiovascular community. During the conference, delegates will witness the official handover of the Presidency to President Elect Beverley Bostock, creating a unique opportunity to celebrate past achievements while looking ahead to the next chapter for the PCCS. This symbolic passing of the baton reflects the Society's continued commitment to supporting excellence in cardiovascular care across primary care and the wider healthcare community.
Whether you are a GP, nurse, pharmacist, paramedic, physician associate or another healthcare professional with an interest in cardiovascular health, the PCCS 9th Annual Conference offers an outstanding opportunity to stay up to date, learn from national experts and be part of the conversations shaping the future of cardiovascular care.
Registration is free, and with the agenda now available, there has never been a better time to secure your place and discover what lies ahead in this exciting new frontier of cardiovascular care.
