ICIC26 – 26th International Conference on Integrated Care

The 26th International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC26) will be held in Birmingham, UK, from April 13–15, 2026, co-hosted by the International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) and the University of Birmingham. The theme of the conference is “Integrated Care for All: Promoting Health and Wellbeing Through Diversity.”

This annual event is a leading global platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, clinicians, and people with lived experience to come together and explore the latest developments in integrated health and social care. ICIC26 will focus on how integrated care can address the needs of diverse populations, leverage the expertise of multidisciplinary professionals, and harness innovative interventions and technologies to improve health outcomes.

The conference will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and poster sessions, all designed to foster dialogue and knowledge exchange. Special emphasis will be placed on diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare delivery, highlighting how integrated care models can reduce disparities and promote wellbeing across different communities.

ICIC26 also carries the Patients Included designation, meaning patients, caregivers, and service users are actively involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the event. Their participation ensures that discussions remain grounded in real-world experiences and patient-centered perspectives.

Networking opportunities will be abundant, including the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the prestigious Great Hall of the University of Birmingham on April 14, 2026. This social event will celebrate achievements in integrated care and provide a platform for building international collaborations.

With attendees from across the UK and worldwide, ICIC26 promises to be a vibrant and impactful gathering, offering insights into both local and global integrated care initiatives. It is an essential event for anyone committed to advancing health and social care systems that are inclusive, innovative, and responsive to the needs of diverse populations.
