NeoHeart Europe 2026

NeoHeart Europe 2026
Bridging Disciplines, Advancing Neonatal Cardiac Care

Thursday 9-Friday 10 July 2026 
With a pre-conference workshop day on Wednesday 8 July
BMA House, London

NeoHeart Europe 2026 marks the first European expansion of the globally recognised NeoHeart Conference - an international forum dedicated to improving outcomes for newborns with congenital and cardiopulmonary heart disease. With significant variation in neonatal cardiac outcomes across Europe, the need for a unified, multidisciplinary educational platform has never been greater.

This inaugural European event brings together leaders across medicine, neonatology, paediatric cardiology, cardiac intensive care and cardiac surgery. Designed as an intimate, high-impact meeting, NeoHeart Europe 2026 will deliver immersive workshops, evidence-based updates, and cross-disciplinary dialogue aimed at harmonising standards and accelerating innovation.

Hosted by Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Neonatal Heart Society

Learning objectives

  • Enhance insight into fetal and neonatal cardiovascular physiology: Gain a robust understanding of the essential principles governing fetal and neonatal cardiovascular physiology. Explore how these principles inform evidence-based strategies to optimise newborn cardiac function.
  • Advance diagnostic and therapeutic expertise in complex neonatal cardiac conditions: Strengthen clinical proficiency in multimodal imaging, interventional cardiology, surgical techniques, and critical care approaches. Enhance your ability to diagnose and manage high-risk neonatal cardiac pathologies with confidence.
  • Strengthen multidisciplinary decision-making and ethical, family-centred care: Develop collaborative frameworks for integrated care planning across fetal and neonatal cardiac teams, surgeons, neonatologists, and intensivists. Apply sound ethical principles to guide shared decision-making and support families through complex clinical trajectories.

Who should attend?
Neonatologists, Paediatric cardiologists, Paediatric intensivists, Cardiac intensivists, Neonatal cardiac surgeons, Nurses, Allied Health Professionals, and hospital administrators.
