# CPC London 2026 — what we took away > Published: 2026-05-12 > Author: Bushra Sheikh > URL: https://www.homecare-pharmacy.co.uk/news-updates/cpc-london-2026-highlights.html 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 London 2026 · The recap **Event**CPC 2026**Where**ExCeL London**Our stand**F35 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. - **1** Patient Portal The most asked–about of the lot. Trust pharmacists wanted to see exactly how patients self–serve on prescriptions and deliveries. - **2** Patient App A lot of interest in the medication reminder side. Several conversations about adherence and what we can feed back to the prescriber. - **3** Nursing Portal This one drew the homecare nursing teams in — particularly the visit coordination and the syncing back to clinical systems. - **4** Hospital Portal The dashboards landed. Finance and ops leads wanted to talk about analytics, KPIs, and how the data lines up with their own. - **5** 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. ![PHP team members on stand at CPC London 2026](https://www.homecare-pharmacy.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/Image_1.jpg) The team between sessions — representation from almost every department at PHP.

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.
