Positive OT & Case Management is delighted to announce that bookings are now open for the Collaboration in Rehabilitation 2026 Conference, hosted in partnership with Intospeech and Healing Touch Rehab.
This not-for-profit event will take place on 15th October 2026 at St George’s Conference Centre, Leeds, bringing together professionals from across the rehabilitation sector to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration for both children and adults.
The 2026 conference will once again centre on building stronger multidisciplinary team (MDT) connections and exploring how collaborative practice can shape the future of rehabilitation. Delegates can expect a rich programme of real-world case studies and lived client experiences, alongside discussions focused on functional, meaningful outcomes that keep clients firmly at the heart of practice.
This year’s themes will also highlight the importance of longer-term MDT involvement and the positive difference sustained collaboration can make across the rehabilitation journey.
Beyond the learning, the event offers a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues, share ideas, and strengthen partnerships across the rehabilitation community, all while supporting local charitable initiatives.
Tickets are £109.05
