Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

FPM Annual Conference 2026 is the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine's refreshed flagship meeting, replacing the previous Annual Symposium format. It is aimed at doctors and professionals working across medicines development, clinical research, regulatory affairs, drug safety, medical affairs and pharmaceutical leadership. The programme combines keynote talks, a debate on whether the current pharmaceutical model is sustainable, three repeated parallel workshops, a clinical-research panel and structured networking through a conference app. The current speaker list includes Lawrence Tallon, Chief Executive of the MHRA, as opening keynote speaker, with Alan Boyd, Renata Crome and workshop faculty covering AI, influence, personal impact and paediatric clinical research. No abstract submission route or publication outcome is advertised for the 2026 conference. Registration is open for in-person and online attendance, with in-person non-member pricing at £450, in-person FPM member pricing at £360 and reduced-rate in-person tickets at £235 for eligible groups including PMST trainees. Online non-member tickets are £310, online FPM member tickets are £265 and reduced-rate online tickets are £185. FPM says attendees may use the day as CPD for appraisal, with 6 self-allocated points for attending the day plus one point for each missed breakout watched on catch-up. The venue is 10 Union Street in London SE1, also described on the booking portal as the home of RCOG near London Bridge.
