CPC London 2026 highlights — PHP team on stand F35

We’re back from Clinical Pharmacy Congress 2026, ExCeL London — here’s the team’s post–event write–up. Five live demos on stand F35, conversations with teams from Leeds Teaching Hospital, King’s College London and dozens of others, and three talks worth flagging — including sessions on AI in pharmacy and leadership across the profession. And yes, CPC turned 15 this year. ``

Two days, one stand, a lot of conversations

Here’s a quick post–event write–up — the demos that landed, the people we met, and the talks we walked out of with something to think about.

CPC celebrated its

15th

15 years of clinical pharmacy coming together in one place. Quite a moment to be part of.

Stand F35, ExCeL London.

What we showed

Five demos, running back–to–back

Our personalised homecare service was at the centre, with our digital platform running live next to it. The same five products we promised in the build–up — and the questions visitors asked told us a lot about where pharmacy teams want to go next.

Patient Portal The most asked–about of the lot. Trust pharmacists wanted to see exactly how patients self–serve on prescriptions and deliveries.
1
Patient App A lot of interest in the medication reminder side. Several conversations about adherence and what we can feed back to the prescriber.
2
Nursing Portal This one drew the homecare nursing teams in — particularly the visit coordination and the syncing back to clinical systems.
3
Hospital Portal The dashboards landed. Finance and ops leads wanted to talk about analytics, KPIs, and how the data lines up with their own.
4
WhatsApp Bot The one people didn’t expect. Talking to a medication assistant in a familiar chat window changed the conversation completely.

Conversations that stuck with us

Worth the trip, every single one

The stand was busy throughout both days. A few conversations are still echoing — here’s a couple worth naming.

Leeds Teaching Hospital

A proper deep–dive on the nursing and hospital portals — the kind of conversation that pushes how we think about cross–team handovers. Thank you for stopping by.

King’s College London

Always brilliant catching up with King’s. We covered a lot of ground — pathway design, data feedback loops, and what good looks like at scale.

And everyone else

Across both days

To the pharmacists, nurses, commissioners and partners who came by — thank you. Several of you have follow–ups already in calendars.

Talks worth flagging

What we walked out thinking about

A short list of the sessions that gave the team something to think about.

Technology & Innovation Theatre

AI, automation and digital prescribing

One of the strongest threads across CPC this year — practical use of AI in pharmacy, from prescribing to workflow automation, with a clear focus on what actually scales in NHS settings.

Keynote Theatre

The future of medicines optimisation in ICS structures

A strategic look at how medicines optimisation is evolving across integrated care systems — less theory, more about how teams are making it work across organisational boundaries.

Leadership & Policy

Workforce, leadership and the direction of travel

Across multiple sessions, a consistent theme: workforce development, independent prescribing, and what effective leadership looks like as pharmacy takes on a broader clinical role.

Stand was packed

Thank you for stopping by

The stand was busy throughout both days. To everyone who came to chat, watch a demo, or share what their trust is wrestling with right now — thank you. We’re already looking forward to next year.
