The Operating Theatres Show 2025 is taking place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Thursday, 11 September 2025. CSJ provides an overview of the hot topics being explored at the event.
As the NHS continues to grapple with one of the most complex and persistent challenges in its history, elective surgery backlogs, the need for innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions has never been more urgent. The annual Operating Theatres Show returns to Etihad Stadium in Manchester, this September, offering a national platform for clinical, operational, and strategic leaders to converge and explore the evolving future of surgical services across the UK.
Hosted by the Institute of Government & Public Policy (IGPP), this one-day conference will bring together hundreds of professionals working in theatres, anaesthetics, perioperative care, and elective service transformation. The show provides a vital opportunity to discuss the latest innovations in theatre productivity, workforce development, surgical sustainability, and training. In partnership with the Clinical Services Journal, an exclusive free ticket code, OTS-CSJ, has been made available to CSJ readers. This grants full access to the conference, including all sessions, panels, networking opportunities, and the exhibition area.
At the core of this year's show is a simple, powerful question: How can the NHS transform surgical services to meet patient demand, boost productivity, and build a sustainable future? Millions of patients are still waiting for routine operations, putting enormous pressure on perioperative teams, management systems, and the broader health and care landscape.
