999 EMS Research Forum Annual Conference 2026

The 999 EMS Research Forum Annual Conference 2026 is coming to The Green Park Conference Centre on Tuesday 10 November, from 9:30 am to 5 pm. It's the flagship event of the 999 EMS Research Forum, a UK-based partnership that's been bringing together academics and healthcare providers with a research interest in emergency care since it started in 1997. Its board draws from a range of specialities and backgrounds, including paramedics and academics, and the Forum works to encourage, promote and disseminate research and evidence-based policy and practice in 999 healthcare, build links between emergency healthcare practitioners and the research community, and grow international collaborations in prehospital care research.

The conference itself is a one-day gathering of ambulance, paramedic, prehospital emergency care and emergency medical services researchers and clinicians. The day is built around keynote teaching, oral presentations, rapid elevator pitches and a moderated poster session. There are also prizes awarded for highest quality research, research most likely to affect practice, best poster and best rapid elevator pitch, so the work on display is being judged as well as presented.

It's hosted by the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and run in association with SCAS, The National Ambulance Research Steering Group and PRIME Centre Wales. The venue is The Green Park Conference Centre, 100 Longwater Avenue, Green Park, Reading RG2 6GP. Tickets are £79 for early bird and £99 for standard consultant, and the whole thing runs from 9:30 am to 5 pm.
