Clinical Pharmacy Congress (CPC) is the UK’s leading event for clinical pharmacy professionals working across the NHS, bringing together Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and senior pharmacy leaders from secondary care, primary care and integrated care systems.

Taking place on 8–9 May 2026 at ExCeL London, CPC London is the flagship annual meeting for the clinical pharmacy community and marks the 15th edition of the event.

Across two days, CPC London delivers a comprehensive programme of clinical education, national policy updates, professional development and practical learning, alongside an exhibition featuring organisations that support pharmacy teams in delivering safe, effective and efficient patient care.

The event attracts a highly engaged audience, including Chief Pharmacists, Consultant and Specialist Pharmacists, Medicines Optimisation leads and Pharmacy Technicians, many of whom are involved in service delivery, implementation and decision-making within their organisations.

CPC is known for the quality of its content and the intent of its audience. Delegates attend to learn, share best practice, explore new solutions and connect with peers and suppliers who understand the realities of clinical pharmacy practice.

The exhibition sits at the heart of the event, integrated with conference theatres and feature zones such as the Poster Zone and Practical Skills Zone, creating an environment that encourages meaningful conversations rather than passing footfall.

As CPC London celebrates 15 years, the 2026 edition will reflect on the evolution of clinical pharmacy while looking ahead to the future of the profession, including independent prescribing, digital transformation and system-wide collaboration.
