Where?

We are delighted to convene our annual Sports Day at Peninsula Dental School. We have made sure to organise distinctive gathering that brings together rigorous scholarship, professional engagement, and the spirit of healthy competition in support of wellbeing. This year’s event is set against the extraordinary backdrop of the Eden Project, and other venues in Cornwall. Offering truly exceptional venues and experience.

Focus & Themes
Healthy competition & wellbeing
Healthy Competition & Wellbeing
Our sports day is oriented toward promoting intrinsic motivation, physical health, and collegial challenge, rather than social spectacle.
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
We emphasise meaningful connection and partnership with organisations active in community health and social care, such as NHS Trusts, Live Well Southwest, Peninsula dental social Enterprise, alongside our established sponsors and affiliates. We have also arranged for exceptional networking opportunities with our sponsors unlike any sports day before.
AGM & governance
AGM & Governance
In recognition of our organisational mission, we will host the AGM during this event, aligning governance with our core programme.
Why Attend? Participants will benefit from:
  • Exposure to cutting-edge research and practice in allied fields of health, social care, and community wellbeing.
  • Opportunities for strategic networking with institutional partners committed to public health, care provision, and advocacy.
  • A unique experiential setting, immersed in nature, that supports reflection, renewal, and creative engagement.
  • A programme structure that bridges formal scholarship (conference) with applied activity (sports) under a shared ethos of wellbeing.

We invite colleagues, partner organisations, sponsors, and practitioners to join us in this integrated event that seeks not only to advance knowledge and practice, but to foster sustained partnerships across health, social care, and community sectors.
