In this special episode of HFMAtalk, we report from day one of the HFMA annual conference.

The first day of the conference traditionally centres on the outgoing president’s theme and, this year, Lee Outhwaite focused on ‘values and value’. We spoke to Lee, HFMA members, the HFMA policy team, and the presidents of the HFMA in Australia and the USA about what the theme means to them and how it is shaping their work.

In 2026, the HFMA annual conference is moving to Birmingham. You can buy tickets for the event here.
