The Midlands Well-Being Retreat plus Scientific Meeting 2025 successfully combined academic excellence with personal renewal, offering delegates two days of learning, reflection, and rest at Burleigh Court Hotel, Loughborough.

The scientific programme featured engaging talks on shared decision making, compassionate leadership, the interface between primary and secondary care, trainee support, airway management, and outcomes in intensive care. Each session encouraged discussion and practical insight, ensuring the content was not only evidence-based but highly relevant to daily clinical practice.

Alongside the academic agenda, the well-being retreat provided mindfulness workshops, yoga, Tai Chi, guided visualisation, and access to the hotel’s spa facilities. Delegates appreciated the chance to pause, recharge, and focus on balance in both professional and personal life. The carefully planned mix of sessions created a positive and supportive atmosphere, with many attendees highlighting the value of combining education with well-being.

The 2025 meeting stood out as both informative and restorative, leaving participants with fresh perspectives and renewed energy.

The 2nd Midlands Well-Being Retreat plus Scientific Meeting is 23-24 April 2026, and registration will open soon. Delegates are encouraged to secure their place early for another unique opportunity to combine scientific learning with personal well-being.
