Join us at the HPMA Annual Conference 2026 in Bristol. NHS people teams are being asked to grow the workforce, develop skills for new models of care and keep experienced staff from leaving. Each of those depends on learning that reaches people in every role and shift pattern. Come and talk to us about where your organisation is today and what would help you move faster.

Why attend the HPMA Annual Conference?
The Healthcare People Management Association brings HR, workforce and organisational development leaders from across health and care together for two days of keynotes, practical sessions and peer conversations. It is a chance to hear how other organisations are tackling the same workforce pressures and to take ideas back to your own teams.
Totara gives health and care organisations one connected platform for learning, performance and engagement. It is open and configurable, so it works with your existing structures, systems and partners. Talk to us about:
- Skills development: Compare the skills your teams have now with those future services will need, and build learning paths to close the gap.
- Retention and career progression: Give clinical and non-clinical staff clear routes to progress and the development to get there.
- Mandatory and statutory training: Assign, track and report on compliance, with the audit trail regulators expect.
Performance and feedback: Link goals, check-ins and development so conversations lead to action. - Learning at scale: Deliver consistent, accessible learning across trusts, systems and shared services.
