Research and Development Forum 2025

Early bird rates now open

Building on last year's success 
RDF24 marked the largest-ever annual R&D Forum conference. With unparalleled opportunities for learning, networking and professional development, participants attended keynotes speeches and parallel sessions covering a wide range of topics such as UK site agreements, increasing diversity in research participation, set-up of AI research, and more. With many exciting networking opportunities (meeting exhibitors, poster viewing and a Conference dinner with nearly 800 attendees), RDF24 was a rewarding and cutting-edge event in health and care management, and the Forum team is thrilled to build on this at RDF25.
