National Neurology Transformation Meeting 2026

Event Notes:

At NNTM 2026, you’ll join a vibrant community of clinicians, commissioners, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) partners, and patient advocates who are passionate about transforming neurology services for the better. This third annual meeting is delivered in partnership with The Neurological Alliance.

The NHS is undergoing its most radical reform in a generation. In the past 12 months we have seen the abolition of NHS England, with greater responsibility now sitting with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and the Department of Health and Social Care. We have also welcomed the launch of the UK Neuro Forum, the first governmental advisory body dedicated to neurology, ensuring national leadership and accountability. Alongside this, the Government’s 10-Year Health Plan for England has set out three major shifts in health and care: from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention. Meanwhile, My Neuro Survey 2025 has once again highlighted the persistence of unwarranted variation and inequities in access to neurological care.

This shifting landscape brings both challenges and opportunities. People affected by neurological conditions, clinicians, and commissioners all need clarity on how national ambitions will translate into meaningful, equitable care on the ground.

The 2026 meeting will cover:

– Post-delegation realities – how ICBs are commissioning and delivering specialised neurology services in practice.
– Seamless transition care – ensuring effective handover from paediatric to adult neurology services.
– Integrating mental health and neurology – developing neuropsychiatry and psychology pathways within neurological care.
– Stroke and neurology collaboration – building joint approaches for patient groups with overlapping needs.
– Improving care for rare and ultra-rare conditions – pathways, commissioning, and access to treatment.
– Tackling unwarranted variation and inequity – strategies to address disparities identified in Neurology GIRFTand My Neuro Survey.
– Data-driven service improvement – using analytics to measure impact, target resources, and support decision-making.
– Scaling successful models – replicating and adapting innovations across different systems.
