Pulse Live belfast 2026

Pulse LIVE Belfast gives you a day away from the usual pace so you can focus, catch up with colleagues and cover your CPD without distraction. The agenda speaks to the real pressures in general practice and aims to make rising clinical complexity easier to handle. 

You will hear from clinicians who understand the challenges across Northern Ireland and who can offer clear, practical guidance you can use in your practice. There is also time to talk with peers who face the same demands, helping you leave with a clearer sense of what will help in the months ahead.
