The NHS R&D Forum is delighted to announce that RDF23 will be taking place, in-person, at Sage in Newcastle/Gateshead on 21st-23rd May 2023. The event will be held in association with the Health Research Authority.

The last in-person NHS R&D Forum Annual Conference was held in 2019. RDF19 in Brighton was attended by over 600 people during the 2 days. The event saw over 60 speakers and more than 60 posters displayed. Almost 500 people attended the Gala Dinner & Awards Evening which has become a highlight and much awaited calendar event of the year for the community.

RDF23 starts on Sunday 21st May with evening workshops and networking. The Sunday evening was introduced in 2018 when almost 250 people joined us at Celtic Manor in Wales. This grew to over 300 people attending for the Sunday evening at RDF19 in Brighton. We are planning to build on this enthusiasm and engagement with a more comprehensive Sunday evening offering.

The main sessions will start at 10.15 am on Monday 22nd May with the Exhibition opening at 9.30am.
