H.I.E. Conference – save the date!

Grab your diaries and make sure you’re free on 14th May 2026 (plenty of time to plan ahead!).

We’ll be holding our first H.I.E. Conference, with the theme “Hear, Inform, Empower” – a huge opportunity to raise awareness and amplify voices, bringing together families, healthcare professionals, researchers, charities and those who support people affected by H.I.E.

Guest Speakers

Nicolas Hamilton will be joining us as a guest speaker:

“Nicolas is a disability ambassador and hugely inspiring speaker. Born with Cerebral Palsy, following an H.I.E. event at birth, Nicolas and his parents were told that he would never walk, or talk, but this did not stop him for achieving his dream of becoming a successful racing driver.”

Alongside Nicolas will be Paula Abramson from Bereavement Training International, Rachel Wright from Born at the Right Time, Manisha Sheth from Support Me, Sarah Edney,  a speech and language therapist and researcher specialising in neonatology and infant feeding disorders, and more to be announced…

The programme is already taking shape, and we’re excited to share more with you over the coming weeks!
