Why attend STEF 2026?
The Science, Technology and Engineering Forum (STEF) is IPEM's flagship conference, bringing together the medical physics, clinical engineering and healthcare science community to explore the ideas, technologies and leadership challenges shaping the future of healthcare.
This year's programme focuses on the future of the profession, from workforce resilience and leadership development to emerging technologies, innovation and new models of care. Hear from leading experts as they examine how healthcare science, medical physics and clinical engineering must evolve to meet the opportunities and challenges of the next decade.
Whether you are an established leader, an aspiring manager, an early career professional or an experienced practitioner looking to stay ahead of change, STEF offers valuable insights into career pathways, professional development and the skills that will be most important in the years ahead. Sessions will explore leadership, workforce transformation, training, innovation and the changing role of healthcare scientists within the NHS and beyond.
Alongside forward-looking discussions, delegates will discover cutting-edge research, innovative engineering solutions and emerging technologies that are already changing practice today. From artificial intelligence and healthcare technology innovation to sustainability, research translation and the future of clinical engineering, STEF provides a unique opportunity to learn from colleagues across the full breadth of the profession and gain ideas that can be applied directly within your own service.
Join us in Manchester to connect with colleagues, share experiences, explore new opportunities and help shape the future of medical physics, clinical engineering and healthcare science.
