One NHS Procurement and Supply Chain

Welcome to HCSA 2023 Annual Conference and Exhibition

We’re delighted to announce the launch of the HCSA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2023. This year we’re back in Manchester for what we hope will be another fantastic conference. Take a moment to view further details on our website and book your place today. We look forward to welcoming you later this year.

Welcome from our Chief Officer Keith Rowley

I look forward to welcoming you all to the 2023 Winter Conference when we’ll be returning to Manchester Central.

The choice to return to the venue this year was an easy one after the record success of the 2022 event with well in excess of 700 people attending across the two days and 530 people attending our gala dinner.

There was a special buzz of excitement last year and I was proud to see such a diverse representation of HCSA’s members and supporters at the conference.
