The YCOHNS Annual Meeting 2026 takes place on 20 November at the Hilton Leeds City Hotel, with a networking evening at the same venue on 19 November. ENT UK describes the meeting as a must-attend event for senior ENT trainees, post-CCT fellows and early-career consultants, particularly ST8 doctors and newly appointed consultants. The event focuses on the transition into consultant practice, with topics including job planning, finance and pensions, medico-legal considerations, pitfalls of being a new consultant, and leadership and management. It is not primarily a research meeting and no abstract call was visible on the inspected page, so research value is lower than the SAS, BACO and Research Forum listings. Registration is open and an early-bird discount is available until 13 September, but ticket prices sit behind an ENT UK account page. The page states the meeting will be accredited with CPD points, while the exact CPD/CME amount remains to be confirmed. For senior trainees, the practical career content and peer networking make this worth listing despite limited abstract opportunities.
