Clubtogether presents

Rehabilitation & Retreats Summit and Awards 2027

Newcastle upon Tyne , October 2027 (date to be confirmed)

Venue to be confirmed

Two days and one awards night for everyone working to help people recover: the clinics, charities, therapists and retreats who provide recovery, and the NHS teams, GPs, employers, insurers and funders who refer to it and support it.

Why this summit

Recovery works best when everyone is in the same room

People recovering from cancer, addiction, injury or illness often move between many services. The people who provide recovery and the people who refer, fund and support it rarely get time together. This summit brings them together in Newcastle for two days of learning, honest conversation and practical connections, and one evening to celebrate the best rehabilitation and recovery work across the North of England.

The programme

Four recovery streams

  • Stream 1

    Cancer Recovery & Survivorship

    Life during and after treatment: prehabilitation, rehabilitation, exercise oncology, returning to work and emotional recovery.

  • Stream 2

    Addiction & Mental Health Recovery

    Treatment pathways and what comes after them: aftercare, support for families, and recovery from burnout.

  • Stream 3

    Physical & Neuro Rehabilitation

    Rebuilding movement, independence and confidence after stroke, brain injury, musculoskeletal and sports injury, and long COVID.

  • Stream 4

    Retreats, Prevention & Wellbeing

    Therapeutic retreats, complementary support, prevention and longevity, and the role of AI in rehabilitation and care.
