Hospitals Nationwide Unite at EBME Expo 2025

The EBME Expo 2025, held at the Coventry Building Society Arena, once again proved why it is the UK’s premier gathering for the healthcare technology community. This year’s event attracted over 2,000 attendees from hospitals and healthcare organisations across the UK and Ireland, reinforcing its reputation as the number one biomedical engineering event in the country.

The attendee map paints a clear picture: hospitals from every corner of the nation – from Newcastle to Plymouth, and Cardiff to Norwich – travelled to Coventry to take part. With such strong nationwide representation, the EBME Expo has firmly established itself as the leading hub for clinical engineers, EBME managers, procurement professionals, and healthcare technologists. If your hospital wasn’t on the map, you missed the chance to be part of the UK’s most important forum for healthcare technology.

A Diverse and Engaged Audience

The EBME Expo attracts a highly specialised audience spanning the full spectrum of healthcare technology management. In 2025, attendees included:

• Clinical Engineers and EBME Managers responsible for the lifecycle of medical devices.
• Procurement Specialists and NHS Supply Chain staff shaping purchasing decisions.
• Doctors, nurses, perioperative professionals, and training staff seeking the latest knowledge and solutions.
• Healthcare technologists and inventory managers ensuring the smooth running of hospital equipment and systems.

With five CPD-accredited conference streams – covering EBME, Procurement, Training, Operating Theatres, and Medical Devices Connectivity – and 10 hands-on workshops hosted by leading manufacturers such as Philips, GE, Mindray, and Medtronic, attendees had access to unmatched opportunities for professional development and practical learning.

Why Nationwide Representation Matters

The map demonstrates the breadth of engagement across the UK. For hospitals, attending EBME Expo means more than just seeing the latest medical equipment on display – it’s about connecting with peers, learning from thought leaders, and bringing back insights that directly impact patient care.

As Professor John Sandham, EBME Expo Chairman, noted in his 2025 message:

“The EBME Expo 2025 truly reflected the spirit of collaboration that drives excellence in healthcare technology management. The ideas exchanged and relationships formed will have lasting value across our community.”

Looking Ahead to 2026

With 171 exhibitors, over 65 expert speakers, and 85% of exhibitors rebooking onsite for 2026, EBME Expo has set the stage for an even bigger and better edition next year. Planning is already underway to deliver another exceptional event on 24th–25th June 2026 in Coventry.
