Session details

Join us for a relaxed, idea filled session all about celebrating Armed Forces Day. We’ll look at how different organisations have marked the day in the past, swap practical tips for your own plans, and hear straight from the group about what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what attendees have planned for 2026.

Bring along your team who work closely with the armed forces community, the more voices in the room, the stronger and more connected this network becomes. This is your space to share experiences, spark new ideas and help shape how we support the armed forces community in the future.

You’ll also have the chance to network, pick up useful resources and hear programme updates. We’re giving the network a refresh this year, and your input will play a big part in where it goes next.

Connect, share and learn offers:

  • presentations on key themes around supporting Armed Forces reservists in the NHS
  • a forum to share ideas and success, and network with fellow Armed Forces champions
  • guidance on how to build your organisation’s reputation as an Armed Forces-friendly employer
  • programme updates from the NHS Employers’ Armed Forces team. 

Benefits of attendance include:

  • making your Armed Forces commitment public 
  • helping to create a more supportive workplace environment  
  • building external networks across the NHS .
