Integrated Care For All: Promoting Health and Wellbeing Through Diversity
The 26th International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC26) in partnership with The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) and the University of Birmingham will take place on 13-15 April 2026. The conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, people with lived experience, clinicians and managers from the UK and around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.

In doing so, the conference will share common opportunities and challenges faced by integrated care programmes and practice and debate potential solutions and learning from local and national developments.
The conference is particularly organised around the following themes:
- Improved Outcomes through Community-Based Care
- Enhanced Value-Based on Prevention and Technology
- Reduced Inequalities with Social & Economic Development
- Strengthened Workforce by Growing Capacity, Skills & Inclusivity
