Rooted in our ethos –
by analysts, for analysts, with leaders – HACA 2025 showcased impactful work, inspired peers, and helped strengthen our vibrant national community of analysts. HACA is recognised as the UK’s national health and care analytics conference.
In 2025, we created a space to share analytical work that addressed the challenges and opportunities facing health and care – as highlighted in Lord Darzi’s ‘Independent investigation of the NHS in England’ and ‘Fit for the Future: The 10 Year Health Plan for England’.
Our 2025 theme,
Rising to the challenge: Analysis at the heart of health and care systems of the future
recognised the pivotal role of analytics (and analysts) in shaping future-ready services, informing policy, and driving innovation across the sector.
HACA 2025 featured an exciting programme with speakers from across the UK, including thought-provoking plenary sessions, learning sessions, poster presentations and workshops.
The conference was open to and free to attend for staff working in health and social care in the public sector in the UK. It gave attendees the opportunity:
- To celebrate and promote high quality analytical work
- To hear about novel and innovative analysis
- To explore the role of analytic teams in decision making in the health and care system
- For networking and collaboration
- To hear about and bring to your own work great analytic projects – “Steal with pride”
- To inspire analysts and analytical work before, during and after the conference!
The conference welcomed analysts, leaders, decision makers and others interested in analytics, working in health and care in the public sector including the NHS, local authorities, the civil service, academia and the third sector.
HACA 2025 provided a unique space for analysts and leaders to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and build meaningful connections. Attendees brought a wide range of expertise, spanning data engineering, machine learning, econometrics, mixed methods, simulation modelling, demand and capacity modelling, public health, social care and many others.
