The NATO Medical Action Plan: Addressing the Challenges in Delivering Medical Support to Collective Defence

The Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery conference is Europe’s leading conference dedicated to discussing deployed medical care with international allies and industry. The conference returns to London for its 12th year at the Minster Building on 24-25 March 2026.

In a changing security environment, where current conflicts are exemplifying the need for a joint medical response in wartime, NATO nations and allies are working towards collective medical readiness across the civilian, military, government and commercial sectors. This year's Deployed Medical and Healthcare Services conference aims to contribute to this goal through providing a forum where medical personnel can engage on a deeper level in an environment curated for the kind of 'whole of society' collaboration that the NATO Medical Action Plan calls for. We are bringing together the most senior representation from across military, government and industry collaborative discourse that will push NATO nations forward in this plan.

This year's event will deep dive into the NATO Medical Action Plan, spotlighting key areas including:
  • Regulatory Frameworks and Legislation
  • Workforce Shortages
  • Mass Casualty Planning
  • Patient Evacuation
  • Medical Logistics
