All of the people, all of the time: Anti-racist leadership conference 2026
We invite you to join us in Leeds on 28 April 2026 for our flagship conference, delivered in partnership with the BME Leadership Network, dedicated to tackling racial inequalities across health and care.
Inspired by the philosophy of our chair, Lord Victor Adebowale, that the best care is delivered when organisations work to lead ‘all of the people, all of the time’, this conference takes its lead, not just from Victor’s expertise, but from the rich evidence and experiences drawn from our ongoing engagement with leaders from across the system.
Racial inequality continues to shape access, experience and outcomes for our NHS workforce, patients and the communities they support. While progress is being made, the work is far from complete. A leadership that adopts Anti-racism—an evidence based, outcomes driven approach—is already helping organisations address historic bias, improve services and deliver fairer outcomes. Now we must accelerate that progress.
This conference brings together leaders from across the system committed to going further, faster. We invite leaders to hear from those driving meaningful change across the system, in a space designed for learning, honest discussion and peer support. Whether you are beginning this journey or advancing established work, this event aims to meet leaders where they are and support them to take the next step on their journey. Our ambition is centred on taking action on tackling racial inequality, challenging the barriers to transformation, improving services for all and delivering health equity.
Session content will include:
- Leading through uncertainty and flourishing.
- Growing peer support and networks for health equity.
- Embedding anti-racism within governance frameworks
- Managing conflicting beliefs in the workplace
- Harnessing Anti-racism as a tool for service improvement and commissioning.
Together, we will amplify what is working, confront the barriers that remain, and strengthen the NHS’s role as a national leader in tackling racism and delivering exemplary care.
