As 2025 draws to a close, HIEM is reflecting on the past year and highlighting upcoming events for 2026.

It’s been a busy year, marked by significant milestones, including the launch of the 10 Year Health Plan for England and the Life Sciences Sector Plan – both setting out ambitious and robust plans for how we can build services fit for the future. HIEM looks forward to working closely with NHS system colleagues to support their planning.

Our team has extensive experience and can offer a broad range of services for NHS organisations, cross-sector partners, and commercial and clinical partners.
