On Friday 26th September 2025, the Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Conference and Awards Ceremony will take centre stage at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, uniting some of the very best in health and social care under one roof.
This year’s event promises to be a landmark celebration of innovation, inclusion and compassion in care, with an impressive 172 health and social care organisations proudly accepting their GSF Accreditation & Reaccreditation Awards. Each award represents not only excellence in end of life care, but also the dedication of teams working tirelessly to improve lives every single day.
The event will welcome over 420 delegates from across the country – a vibrant gathering of leaders, practitioners, and visionaries in health and social care. With such a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion in the room, the atmosphere is set to be both inspiring and celebratory.
Adding to the buzz of the day, a host of exhibitors will showcase innovative products, services, and ideas that continue to shape the future of care. From cutting-edge research to practical solutions, the exhibition offers delegates a chance to explore, connect, and be inspired.
The programme itself is brimming with thought-provoking sessions and uplifting moments. Highlights include keynote talks from Dr Emma Hodges at Compassionate Communities, pioneering research presentations, and real stories of transformation from accredited organisations. The much-anticipated awards presentation will shine a spotlight on the incredible achievements of organisations across the UK. The day will round off with a drinks reception – the perfect chance to toast to the success of accredited organisations.
The GSF Conference and Awards 2025 is more than an event; it’s a celebration of excellence, a showcase of best practice, and a heartfelt recognition of the individuals and organisations who go above and beyond to make a difference.
This September, Birmingham will be the proud home of a movement that continues to transform health and social care — and together, we celebrate their remarkable achievements.
