14th May 2026, The Lowry, Salford Quays
We’re bringing the community together for a very special day, our first H.I.E. Conference. It’s something we’ve wanted to do for such a long time: creating a space where families, professionals and organisations can come together to listen, learn and support one another.
Why come along?
-
Hear from families about their experiences following an H.I.E. event, sharing honest and powerful stories.
-
Be informed by researchers and healthcare professionals on efforts to reduce instances of H.I.E., improve outcomes and enhance support.
-
Feel empowered to contribute to meaningful change.
-
Explore exhibitor stands with helpful information from charities, professionals and organisations.
-
Connect with others who understand fully what life after H.I.E. means, and the importance of compassionate, collaborative care and support.
Who is it for?
Parents / carers and family members, healthcare professionals, researchers, charities, community organisations, legal and advocacy professionals – in fact there really is something for everyone!
What can you expect?
A day of sharing and learning, as well as being supported and feeling heard.
We’ve a wonderful line up of speakers; lived (living!) experience stories, research insights, workshops and legal clinics. There’s a dedicated parent / carer room with peer support available, so as well as having the opportunity to network, there’s also space to pause and reflect. We’re here to make the day as safe and enjoyable as possible, for everyone.
For those who might find events like this a little overwhelming, please do get in touch. We can arrange to meet people on arrival if preferred, or help facilitate introductions with others. The Peeps team will be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions and ensure everything goes smoothly.
We would love you to join us if you can, to really put H.I.E. on the map, doing even more to raise awareness and offer support.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite, or you can email info@peeps-hie.org if you’d like to make a group booking or pay by invoice.
Please share with your friends and networks too – the more people we reach, the bigger the difference we can make.
