This is not a traditional conference where you sit and listen.
This is a hands-on, interactive event designed to generate fundable, collaborative research ideas for upcoming 2026–27 calls (UKRI, NIHR, Horizon Europe).

You are invited to attend in-person for the entire day or listen to the keynote speakers virtually (from 1-3pm). If you register virtually, you will also have access to the recording.

• Dr Carlijn Wagenaar, PhD – exploring lifestyle, microbiome, and inflammation through the Plants for Joints trials

Wing and Emily are here on a placement and study exchange from Hong Kong Metropolitan University.

This is them outside the Alderbourne Unit at Hillingdon Hospital where they are doing a neurology placement 👏👏👏 .

Some more pics from our physio fun day 🥳🤪😜 glad to see you all had fun!!! 🤣

Our 2nd‑year Physiotherapy students engaged in an innovative practical session as part of our new Health Across the Lifespan module. Using ageing simulation suits, students experienced first‑hand the physical, sensory, and postural changes associated with ageing.
From kyphotic postures and reduced mobility to limited hearing and peripheral vision, this eye‑opening activity encouraged students to think deeply about accessibility, communication, and the lived experience of older adults.
This hands‑on approach strengthens both clinical empathy and evidence‑informed practice—core pillars of physiotherapy 💕💕
