10th December 2025
We are thrilled to be hosting the SAPHNA 2025 annual conference at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, on 10th December 2025.
Following on from our 2024 event, our 2025 conference will be a hybrid event, meaning people can join from anywhere and still benefit from our excellent speakers and breakout sessions.
Join us for a landmark event bringing together school nurses, public health leaders, and youth advocates from across the UK to explore and celebrate the vital role of school and public health nursing in advancing prevention and early intervention for children and young people over the next decade.
This year’s theme, Innovate, Adapt, Thrive: The Next Decade of School Nursing, reflects the agility and leadership of our profession in transforming the health and wellbeing of children and young people across the UK. This is a uniquely inclusive conference, ensuring representation beyond England to embrace perspectives from the wider UK community.
Conference Highlights:
- Hear from influential keynote speakers (names to be announced in the coming weeks!) including leading voices from England and Scotland, and Children and Young People themselves.
- Engage with peers through structured networking and interactive breakout sessions (full list of breakout sessions to be announced soon!).
- Take part in vital conversations about mental health, safeguarding, neurodiversity, violence prevention, SENDI, LGBTQ+ and identity, body image, chronic health conditions, and more.
