Join colleagues from across the UK and beyond for the BAPM Annual Conference 2026, as we come together in Nottingham for a very special year, celebrating BAPM’s 50th anniversary.

Preparations for our anniversary celebrations are well underway, and this year’s Annual Conference promises to be a landmark event. Across three days, with workshops on 15 September and the main conference on 16–17 September, we will bring together cutting-edge research, expert insight and real-world perspectives from across neonatal and perinatal care.

Whether you join us in person or online, this will be an opportunity to connect, reflect and look ahead to the future of newborn care.
