We are excited to host the 2025 Bennett Institute Medicines Symposium, two days of talks and workshops on medicines, NHS data, and open research.

Day 1 will feature keynotes, lightning talks, and panel discussions.
Day 2 will be dedicated to hands-on workshops.

Whether you’re working in healthcare research, policy, or practice, this is a chance to connect and learn from those generating and using medicines data in the UK.

Registration and abstract submissions are now open

What you’ll learn

This year’s symposium is focused on medicines, NHS data, and open research methods. You’ll learn about:
Ongoing work and recent findings from the Bennett Institute and our collaborators
Tools like OpenSAFELY, OpenCodelists, and OpenPrescribing, and how others are using them
Approaches to high-quality, reproducible analytics in the NHS
Real-life examples of how data is being used to improve care, safety, and access
Hands-on workshops to explore methods, tools, and workflows

Who you’ll meet

We’re bringing together people who often use the same data but don’t always get to work together. You’ll meet:
Clinicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals who generate and use medicines data in everyday care
Medicines optimisation teams
Researchers, epidemiologists, and data scientists
Policy makers and experts
Data infrastructure experts and platform developers
