Aberdeen, Scotland will host the UK Stroke Forum 2025, the Stroke Association’s flagship annual conference, from 25 to 27 November 2025 at P&J Live.
Marking its 20th anniversary, the event will welcome 2,000 delegates for three days of education, collaboration, and community engagement.
Chosen for its sustainability credentials and citywide collaboration, Aberdeen impressed organisers with its accessible infrastructure and green transport options, including complimentary hydrogen and electric shuttles connecting key hotels and the venue.
“Bringing the UK Stroke Forum to Aberdeen for our 20th anniversary is an exciting step for our community,” said Jon Roe, Events Lead, UK Stroke Forum. “We were impressed by the city’s sustainability focus, accessibility, and collaborative spirit.”
Supported by local ambassadors, P&J Live, and the Aberdeen Convention Bureau, the bid included a public engagement programme linking stroke survivors and carers to regional support services. In partnership with Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), a special session will also introduce young people to careers in stroke care and research.
“Hosting the Forum in Aberdeen highlights the vital work of NHS Grampian and our academic partners,” said Thérèse Lebedis OBE, Stroke Rehabilitation Lead at the National Stroke Improvement Programme.
