Key themes & trends
Care Show London 2025 will open conversations on the most pressing issues and transformative developments in the sector, with an emphasis on practical solutions and positive outcomes from sector experts.
Building on last year's success, and invaluable contribution from our Advisory Board, the conference programme has been enhanced with themes reflecting the sector's current priorities and will focus on addressing some of the most critical and transformative areas in the social care sector.
Regulatory updates, funding, and government recognition will take centre stage, with prominent voices identifying clear actions for change. We will delve into the ongoing discussions around funding and policy advocacy, examining ways to secure better financial support for care services and prepare for new policy changes.
Workforce empowerment and wellbeing will also remain a core focus, as the sector grapples with ongoing recruitment challenges and the need for effective retention strategies, all while prioritising mental health and workforce resilience.
The integration of innovative care solutions will be explored, with a focus on how technology is enhancing care efficiency and personalisation. This will range from AI and robotics to data-driven decision-making.
With updated guidance on catering and nutrition within care settings, our brand-new Catering, Hydration & Nutrition Theatre will offer insights into improving the quality of catering in care. Sustainability also continues to rise in importance as environmental concerns grow, prompting care providers to explore greener practices without compromising on care quality or cost.
Through this diverse and comprehensive programme, care providers will gain practical, real-world solutions that they can immediately apply to improve care delivery and drive positive change within their organisations.
