About this Event

Join us at the HealthSmart Infection Control Summit 2026, bringing NHS leaders and infection‑control specialists together to explore the latest in research, technology and sustainability solutions.

Hosted at the The Standard Hotel, with floor-to-ceiling stunning views of the London skyline just 2 minutes walk from St Pancras and King’s Cross station.

The summit delivers expert keynote sessions, the latest thinking in infection control and digitisation, and valuable networking across the healthcare sector.
