Join us at the HCA Spring Conference 2026 for a timely and practical event focused on strengthening resilience across the care sector

📅Wednesday 6th May 2026 

📍 VOCO Hotel & Spa, Winchester, SO21 1HZ

⏲️ 0900-1630

Adult social care providers are operating in an increasingly complex and high-risk environment. Workforce instability, international recruitment pressures, and rising cyber threats are now among the most significant operational challenges facing care services.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Jane Townson OBE, Chief Executive of the Homecare Association, as our guest speaker, who will share insight on current pressures and policy developments shaping the future of adult social care.

This year’s conference will place delegates at the centre of the action through two interactive crisis simulation exercises, designed specifically for residential and domiciliary care providers.

Delegates will work through realistic scenarios exploring how organisations respond when major operational risks threaten care delivery, including:

International Recruitment and Workforce Disruption
Explore the challenges providers may face when visa sponsorship, workforce stability, and regulatory scrutiny collide. Delegates will examine how leadership teams manage staffing risk, maintain safe services, and communicate effectively under pressure.

Cyber Security and Digital Failure
Test how your organisation would respond if critical digital systems were suddenly unavailable due to a cyber incident. From care planning systems to rostering and communications, this scenario explores how providers protect residents, clients, staff, and data when technology fails.

This event is designed for care providers, managers, and senior leaders who want practical insight into managing risk, protecting services, and building more resilient organisations.
