Autumn events: sponsorship opportunities across our market-leading primary care portfolio

Posted on by Bianca Pettifor

Autumn is shaping up to be one of our busiest seasons yet, with hundreds of healthcare professionals expected to engage with our live and virtual events programme across primary and secondary care.

Our regional programme begins with Pulse LIVE Newcastle and Management in Practice Newcastle on 15–16 September, providing a valuable opportunity to engage with GPs, practice managers and primary care leaders across the North East.

The following week, Management in Practice London returns on 22 September, for what is one of the largest and most anticipated standalone events of the year for practice managers and GP partners.

We then head to Scotland for Pulse LIVE Glasgow and Nursing in Practice Glasgow on 29–30 September, offering sponsors and exhibitors the chance to connect with both GP and nursing communities north of the border. A major milestone as this will be the first time since the pandemic Nursing in Practice will return to Scotland in person.

Alongside our face-to-face programme, our virtual portfolio continues to deliver highly engaged audiences. Highlights include a two-day Pulse Virtual covering respiratory health, sleep and chronic conditions takes place on 8–9 September, followed by our MDT Vaccinations and Immunisation event on 24 September, building on the success of the inaugural meeting in May, which attracted more than 680 attendees. HHE Clinical Excellence on Respiratory follows on 1 October, and Nursing in Practice Virtual on chronic conditions on 20 October.

Looking ahead, our autumn tour continues with Pulse LIVE Belfast on 11 November, the inaugural Management in Practice Sheffield on 18 November, before concluding with Pulse LIVE, Pulse PCN and Nursing in Practice Liverpool on 24–25 November. We then round off the year with the prestigious 18th Annual General Practice Awards at the Novotel London West on 4 December, with the winners’ shortlist due to be announced imminently.

The breadth of our events calendar reaches across the spectrum of healthcare, providing CPD, networking and the chance to meet the suppliers and service providers who are supporting those at the frontline.

Limited sponsorship opportunities remain, including for:

  • Pulse LIVE Newcastle (15 September)
  • Management in Practice Newcastle (16 September)
  • Management in Practice London (22 September)
  • Pulse LIVE Glasgow (29 September)
  • Nursing in Practice Glasgow (30 September)
  • Management in Practice Virtual (3 November)

Cogora Events expand 2026 programme following strong Q1 engagement

Posted on by Bianca Pettifor

Following a strong start to 2026, Cogora is expanding its events programme into Q2, connecting healthcare professionals across primary and secondary care.

Q1 saw the success of Pulse and Nursing in Practice Virtual Respiratory and Chronic Conditions events, with each event exceeding target and welcoming over 1,600 attendees. Hospital Pharmacy Europe started off strong, focusing on Biosimilars, with future topic areas to be confirmed soon. We also celebrate the success of Management in Practice Virtual, which focused on Workforce, Finance and Population health for the first time. 

Highlights include:

  • Flagship in-person conferences: Pulse LIVE London (28–29 April) and Nursing in Practice London (30 April), bringing together GPs and nurses for a week of networking and engaged learning.
  • Virtual learning and specialist clinical focus: the new Vaccinations & Immunisation event (6 May), Nursing in Practice Women’s Health and Respiratory Virtual (4 June), and multiple Pulse Virtual events provide flexible, topic-driven education aligned to current clinical priorities.
  • Regional practice leadership events: Management in Practice in Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham offer practice managers insight into workforce, operations and service delivery challenges.
  • Secondary care spotlight: Hospital Healthcare Europe Clinical Excellence in Respiratory Care (12 May) provides a dedicated platform for hospital-based multidisciplinary teams working in respiratory care.
  • New cross-sector collaboration: the inaugural Community Pharmacy and General Practice event (21–22 June), delivered in partnership with the National Pharmacy Association, supports integrated care and pharmacy-GP collaboration.

Cogora Events combine in-person and virtual formats, creating valuable engagement opportunities for sponsors while fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing across disciplines.

Looking ahead:

Pulse Virtual events will continue to take place each month covering a variety of clinical topics. In-person events are also planned for Cardiff, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast and Liverpool.

Pulse PCN will be travelling to London, Birmingham and Liverpool throughout the year, offering practical insight into collaboration, workforce sustainability and neighbourhood delivery. 

For nurses, the virtual events will continue in October and December, with an in-person event Nursing in Practice North taking place in November. 

Management in Practice will continue its regional events visiting Newcastle, London and Sheffield. Virtual events will also feature on digital health and AI in primary care. 

Our secondary care brand Hospital Healthcare Europe will revisit respiratory care in May, and our Hospital Pharmacy Europe Events will be back in July – watch this space for clinical themes.
