11-12 OCTOBER 2026
Community pharmacy is facing some of its biggest changes in years, from funding pressures and workforce shortages to independent prescribing, service expansion and rising patient demand. That's why the Pharmacy Show 2026 is putting even greater focus on helping you navigate what comes next.
This year, we're creating more opportunities to connect with peers, suppliers, sector leaders and decision-makers who understand the realities of pharmacy today. Alongside a conference programme packed with the latest research and insights, you'll find honest conversations, real-world solutions and valuable connections that can help you tackle challenges, uncover new opportunities and strengthen your pharmacy for the future.
Highlights, key features and the experiences you won’t want to miss.
Advanced networking
This year, we’re putting an even bigger focus on networking and making it easier for everyone to meet the right people. We’re introducing a dedicated Networking Hour, a set time in the agenda designed to get attendees talking, sharing ideas and building connections in a relaxed, welcoming way. You’ll leave feeling informed, energised, and part of a wider community shaping the future of pharmacy.
More products & services
When you’re busy, it’s easy to put off exploring new suppliers, but this is the one date you shouldn’t miss. With hundreds of leading suppliers all under one roof (and an expanded floorplan this year), you’ll discover even more products and services designed to solve the challenges you’re facing right now.
Come to compare options side-by-side, ask questions in the moment, and leave with practical ideas, new contacts and the right solutions to take back to your business.
Refined conference programme
Two days of expert-led sessions on the issues shaping community pharmacy and the wider healthcare landscape, packed with fresh insight, ideas and innovation to help you stay ahead, sharpen your thinking and take practical learnings back to your role. Keep the conversation going after each session by meeting speakers at the Info Point to ask questions, share challenges and connect with peers facing the same pressures. The Pharmacy Owners Forum will also be returning for current and aspiring owners, focused on practical solutions and real-world insight to support stronger decision-making, confidence and growth. The full conference programme launches in July.
