Her Heart Conference 2026
Improving Women's Heart Health - A Fairer, Inclusive and Accessible System
Conference Countdown
Be part of the conversation changing women’s heart health.
The Her Heart Conference 2026 will bring together clinicians, researchers, policymakers, community leaders and women with lived experience for a powerful day focused on what must change – and what we can do next.
Hear from leading voices in women’s cardiovascular health, take part in practical discussions and connect with people committed to creating a fairer, more inclusive and accessible health system for women.
This is more than a day of presentations. Your experience and expertise will help identify the priorities and practical actions for a Her Heart Roadmap for Women’s Cardiovascular Health.

In one day, you will:
- Hear the latest thinking across prevention, clinical care, research, policy, data and innovation.
- Learn from leading experts and women with lived experience.
- Contribute to priorities for a Her Heart Roadmap for Women’s Cardiovascular Health.
- Build valuable connections with people working across the cardiovascular health system.
Conference Themes
The program brings together the clinical, research, policy, community and lived-experience perspectives needed to improve cardiovascular outcomes for women.
- Equity and inclusion
- Prevention across the life course
- Closing the gender gap
- Research, data and innovation
- Workforce and future models of care

Help shape the Roadmap
The conference is designed to do more than share information. In the afternoon, delegates will work in facilitated roundtables to identify priorities and practical actions for a Her Heart Roadmap for Women’s Cardiovascular Health.
Clinical, research, policy, community and lived-experience perspectives will all be part of the discussion. Following the conference, Her Heart will bring these contributions together into a draft Roadmap to help drive action for women’s cardiovascular health.
