HCSA 2021 Returns
We are delighted to announce that the HCSA Annual Conference and Exhibition is back for 2021. The event will take place on 24 + 25 November at Harrogate Convention Centre in an innovative hybrid format both live in venue and streamed online.
Connecting over 600 buyers and suppliers across the healthcare sector, HCSA 2021 will provide a wealth of education, networking and product showcase opportunities bringing the healthcare procurement community together over 2 stimulating days.
You can now prepare to join peers and industry at HCSA 2021.
Welcome from our Acting Chief Officer Simon Walsh
This year marks the 61st Anniversary of HCSA. Our 60th year was, of course, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which hit the UK in early 2020 and brought with it enormous levels of stress, pressure and loss.
It would have been unthinkable when writing the opening address for our last live event in 2019 to have had the slightest inkling of what 2020 would bring. Thankfully, our first ever virtual Winter Conference last November was a huge success, and we are extremely grateful to everyone who contributed to its success by providing content, sponsoring or attending. Without you it would not have been the fabulous event it was.
