We’re bringing Caring Conversations to Birmingham next!
After the energy and success of London, we can’t wait to see what conversations unfold at the NEC. We’ll be back with our live-streaming setup, camera-ready to host thought leaders, care workers, suppliers, and anyone with a view on how we can shape a better care future.
We are proud to welcome Cornerstone Care Solutions as the sponsor of Caring Conversations.
Every good conversation needs a great supporter — and that’s where Cornerstone Care Solutions step in! These guys are like the superheroes of the care world: swooping in with experience, energy, and the know-how to help care homes shine.
From untangling tricky CQC bits to boosting everyday standards, they’ve spent over a decade helping homes turn challenges into real success stories. The best part? They do it with a smile, a friendly approach, and a genuine love for making care better.

Highlights from London 2025
Caring Conversations is now a staple of Care Shows
Caring Conversations has become a staple of Care Shows. We have created live streams and literally hundreds of videos capturing the most inspiring voices from across the care sector. From CEOs and innovators to front-line carers and campaigners, we spoke to the people who shape and support the industry every day.
At Care Show London 2025, we took things to the next level.
What Did We Do at Care Show London?
We brought our Caring Conversations live studio right to the heart of the exhibition. Over two packed days (30th April – 1st May), we filmed more than 35 live interviews, streamed everything to YouTube in real time, and helped showcase some of the most exciting ideas in care.
We spoke to sector leaders, business owners, care home managers, campaigners, technology providers, and frontline workers. We covered everything from CQC reforms and staff wellbeing to financial sustainability and the future of social care.
The conversations were authentic, unscripted, and full of passion, providing not only amazing content for our guests to use on their own platforms but also a shared insight into the challenges and breakthroughs happening in the care world right now.
Our stand, F10, became a buzzing hub of activity and conversation throughout the event, and we loved every minute of it.
What is Caring Conversations?
