The Home that Care Creates – Care Home Conference 2026

National Care Home Conference & Exhibition 2026

Join Scottish Care for our flagship National Care Home Conference & Exhibition, a day dedicated to exploring the story of care homes in Scotland today and the chapter we must write together for the future.

The Home that Care Creates will bring together care home leaders, practitioners, policymakers, partners, innovators and sector influencers for a day of discussion, challenge and inspiration.

Structured around four chapters, the conference will explore:

Visible – how care homes are perceived, valued and trusted

Viable – what makes care sustainable in practice

Valued – recognising the expertise, relationships and professionalism that underpin care

Visionary- shaping the future of care homes in Scotland

The programme will feature keynote speakers, interactive discussions, political debate, insight sessions, exhibitions and networking opportunities, all focused on the role care homes play in creating communities, relationships and places where people can truly call home.

Whether you are a provider, manager, practitioner, partner organisation or policymaker, this conference offers an opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the sector, share ideas and contribute to the next chapter of care in Scotland.
