ENT UK Innovation & Research Forum 2026

ENT UK Innovation & Research Forum 2026 runs for two days at Hallam Conference Centre in central London. Day 1 is designed for clinicians, engineers, researchers, industry, regulators, charities, patient representatives and NHS leaders. Short talks cover the NIHR commercial portfolio, MHRA regulatory change, pharma and medtech partnerships, elective-care transformation, wider academia, community providers and patient involvement. The afternoon then divides into four facilitated roundtables on community ENT, elective recovery, digital and AI-enabled diagnostics and therapies, and tele-training/workforce development.

Day 2 is the Research Forum. Six named BOARS free papers are followed by Rowena Ryan finalist presentations, ENT UK Foundation grant speakers, prize announcements and Ahmad Hariri's keynote on digital workflow innovation. BOARS accepts primary or secondary research, not case reports or audits. Abstracts are limited to 300 words including references, structured as Title, Aim, Methods, Results and Conclusion, with up to two key references. BOARS oral presentations are seven minutes plus two minutes for questions; other accepted work may be offered a poster. The six grade-specific Rowena Ryan routes cover audit, research and teaching/training and use five-minute presentations plus two minutes for questions. Two further 300-word routes invite nominations for a trainee-nominated trainer and a lifetime trainer. The shared deadline was 16 July 2026 and all portals are now closed.

Advance two-day fees are £130 for members and £200 for non-members; late two-day fees are £170 and £240. Single-day prices are also available, with advance booking ending 9 September and registration closing 13 October. Attendance earns 5 CPD points for either single day or 11 points for both. The nearest Underground stations are Great Portland Street and Regent's Park (about five minutes) and Oxford Circus (about eight minutes); the venue is inside the Congestion Charge zone.
