Over the last few years the RCN Nursing in Justice and Forensic Healthcare forum have collaborated with both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of General Practitioners to deliver a highly successful Health and Justice Summit.
This event brings together professionals working in the field of health and justice and those with lived experience to explore how excellent care can be championed and patient safety maintained. The Summit always fosters meaningful dialogue and hosts a wide range of speakers from across different pathways.
This year we are working to deliver the 13th Health and Justice Summit this Autumn titled Interconnecting Health and Justice in Manchester on Thursday 8 October - Friday 9 October
Over these two days, we will explore how health needs shape justice outcomes and justice systems shape health outcomes. With a solution-focused goal, we will examine learning from the UK and international systems and give a platform to the latest research aligned with the key themes of the Summit, which are:
Addressing structural inequalities, severe multiple disadvantage, and wider determinants of health.
- Health as a determinant of justice involvement
- Justice involvement as a determinant of health
- Health as a pathway to diversion, rehabilitation, and desistance
- Legal frameworks that protect health rights
- Public health and criminal justice partnerships
We are keen to have the voices and work of nurses showcased in this event - please do consider submitting an abstract. You can find out more about how to do this here: Submit Abstracts - 13th Health & Justice Summit - Portal - Health and Justice UK.
The deadline for abstracts is the 17 May 2026.
