The iHV annual Evidence-based Practice (EBP) Conference 2026 is the UK’s leading health visiting event. This one-day conference offers a fantastic opportunity to hear about the latest developments, research and innovations in health visiting and to network with colleagues from across the UK to share best practice.
The iHV EBP conference also provides an important platform for health visiting researchers and practitioners to raise the profile of their work, disseminate excellence and support best practice – all focused on improving health and ending health inequalities for babies, children, families and communities.
This year’s conference, “From Evidence to Action: Getting it right from the start”, will be held at Bournemouth International Centre on 6 May 2026.
Flexible joining options: you can choose to either join in-person at the fantastic Bournemouth International Centre, with its state-of-the-art facilities and excellent location on Bournemouth beachfront – or take advantage of our hybrid option and enjoy the conference experience online from your work or home setting.
