Health and Care Analytics Conference 2025

3rd & 4th December 2025

Following the success of last year’s national conference, we’re excited to announce the return of the Health and Care Analytics (HACA) conference for 2025 for a third year and we’re going fully online!

HACA is the UK’s leading analytics event for health and care, bringing together analysts, leaders, and decision-makers to connect, learn, and celebrate the impact of great analytical work. The 2025 theme is:

Rising to the challenge: Analysis at the heart of health and care systems of the future

The conference is rooted in our ethos - by analysts, for analysts, with leaders - and showcases how analysis is central to better decisions in health and care.

HACA 2025 will offer two packed days of inspiration, collaboration, and practical insights. You’ll hear from outstanding speakers, see real-world work in action, and take part in sessions designed to strengthen and empower the analytical community.

HACA 2025 is brought to you by the Strategy Unit, with sponsorship from The Health Foundation and supported by organisations from across the UK health and care system.

Rising to the Challenge

Rooted in our ethos – by analysts, for analysts, with leaders – HACA 2025 will showcase impactful work, inspire peers, and help strengthen our vibrant national community of analysts. HACA is recognised as the UK’s national health and care analytics conference – and this is your opportunity to be part of its momentum.

This year, we are creating a space to share analytical work that addresses the challenges and opportunities facing health and care – as recently 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

recognises the pivotal role of analytics (and analysts) in shaping future-ready services, informing policy, and driving innovation across the sector.
