Head of Compass Associates Stuart Cousins and Divisional Director Adam Brenton are attending the LaingBuisson Private Healthcare Summit on 20th May in London.
The Private Healthcare Summit 2026 returns as the UK’s leading strategic forum for senior decision-makers across the independent healthcare sector, bringing together providers, investors, insurers, clinicians, policymakers, and professional services leaders to examine the forces shaping the market.
Private healthcare continues to play an increasingly prominent role within the UK health economy. In 2025, private patient activity remained at historically high levels, driven by sustained NHS waiting list pressures and evolving employer approaches to health and wellbeing. This growth presents significant opportunity, alongside complex challenges around workforce capacity, capital investment, regulation, pricing, and patient expectations.
Building on a strong track record, the Private Healthcare Summit has established itself as a trusted platform for insight, debate, and peer-to-peer learning. The 2026 event will deliver authoritative market intelligence, practical case studies, and forward-looking analysis to support strategic decision-making at board and executive level.
