TEDxNHS 2026: Speaker applications now open for our 10th anniversary year

Ten years ago, TEDxNHS was born from a simple but powerful idea that honest, human stories from within our health service could spark change.

Over the past decade, the TEDxNHS stage has been home to a decade of honest, human‑centred talks; stories of courage, compassion, innovation and care. Stories told by people who saw what needed to change and chose to act.

This year’s theme is HOPE

This year is especially meaningful. As we mark the 10th anniversary of TEDxNHS, we do so at a time when our NHS needs hope more than ever.

Not wishful thinking but active hope.

The kind that builds, that listens, that puts people first.

Could your story be part of the next decade of TEDxNHS?

If you have an idea worth sharing, or if others keep telling you that you do, this could be your moment.
