We exist to close the gap between infection prevention and sterile services — building the UK's most focused community of IPC and CSSD practitioners, led by evidence, not vendors.
BioShield 2026 was founded on a single conviction: the infection prevention and sterile services field generates extraordinary expertise — but the infrastructure for translating that expertise into validated clinical practice, scalable decontamination standards, and cross-disciplinary collaboration has lagged behind the pace of the challenge.
Healthcare-associated infections claim thousands of lives annually and cost the NHS over £1 billion every year. Antimicrobial resistance is accelerating. CSSD departments are under-resourced and under-represented. Regulatory demands are intensifying. And yet, no single UK event has brought IPC and sterile services together in one room — until now.
We built BioShield 2026 to close that gap — not through generic healthcare conferences or vendor-driven trade events, but through a rigorously curated, senior-audience summit that forces the right conversations between the right people at the right time. Every element of our programme is engineered to accelerate real-world implementation.
Every speaker is selected for clinical relevance and depth of expertise — not for budget. We don't let vendor spend determine programme content.
The inaugural edition sets the standard for an annual series. Early attendees and sponsors become founding members of a growing, high-value community.
Peer-to-peer networking, facilitated discussions, and sponsor interactions are designed to create real partnerships — not just contact exchanges.
Day 1 devoted to infection prevention and control. Day 2 to sterile services and decontamination. Two disciplines, one community.
100% of our content, speakers, and attendees are dedicated to infection prevention and sterile services. No dilution. No noise. Every conversation is relevant.
Delegates are selected for seniority and relevance. IPC Leads, CSSD Managers, Clinical Directors — every interaction is a high-value conversation.
The UK is home to NHS England, UKHSA, and hundreds of infection control solution providers. London is the right city for this summit.
Designed by clinical experts — not vendor priorities. Sponsor sessions are clearly labelled. The vast majority of content is completely independent.
We prioritise evidence-based case studies, practical frameworks, and takeaways you can implement immediately — not theory without clinical grounding.
As the first edition of what will become the UK's annual IPC and CSSD summit, early attendees and sponsors secure maximum positioning.
BioShield 2026 is organised and delivered by the team at Convolign Business Consulting LLP — a specialist B2B conference company focused on high-impact healthcare forums across Europe and international markets.
