Join the founding community of doctors leading the next era of preventative and longevity medicine. Why this meeting ## A professional home for doctors committed to evidence-informed longevity medicine. Longevity medicine is rapidly emerging as one of the most important developments in modern healthcare. As our understanding of ageing biology, precision medicine, metabolic health and preventative care advances, physicians are increasingly looking beyond disease treatment towards extending healthspan and optimising lifelong wellbeing. Our inaugural scientific meeting brings together clinicians, researchers and healthcare leaders to explore the science, clinical application and future of longevity medicine in UK practice. Whether you are already practising longevity medicine or looking to integrate its principles into your clinical work, this meeting will provide practical knowledge, meaningful connections and a vision for the future of healthcare. Why attend ## During this one-day meeting you will: Explore the latest science underpinning longevity medicine Learn practical clinical strategies that can be implemented immediately Understand the role of metabolic health in healthy ageing Discuss the evolving evidence around diagnostics, biomarkers and precision medicine Discover how longevity medicine can be integrated safely into UK clinical practice Learn how to establish and grow a longevity clinic Meet fellow doctors building the future of longevity medicine in the UK Become part of the founding UKSML community Who should attend ## For clinicians building the future of longevity medicine. General practitioners Hospital consultants Specialty doctors Lifestyle medicine physicians Functional medicine doctors Private physicians Sports and exercise medicine doctors Women's health specialists Aesthetic doctors Doctors with an interest in prevention, healthy ageing and precision medicine Scientific programme ## Friday 13 November 2026 09:00 – 09:30 ### Registration and coffee Meet fellow delegates and faculty. 09:30 – 09:45 · Welcome ### The vision for the UK Society of Medical Longevity Why longevity medicine matters now, and the society's ambition to establish it as a recognised clinical discipline within UK healthcare. 09:45 – 10:30 · Session 1 ### The science of ageing Biological ageing. The hallmarks of ageing. Healthspan versus lifespan. Why longevity medicine is becoming mainstream. 10:30 – 11:15 · Session 2 ### Metabolic health: the foundation of longevity Insulin resistance, inflammation, body composition, mitochondrial function and cardiometabolic prevention — with practical approaches for everyday clinical practice. 11:15 – 11:45 ### Coffee and networking 11:45 – 12:30 · Session 3 ### Precision longevity medicine Advanced biomarkers, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics, body composition and cardiovascular risk assessment — and how to interpret data without over-testing. 12:30 – 13:15 · Panel discussion ### The future of longevity medicine in the UK NHS versus private practice, regulation, evidence, medical ethics, AI and digital health, and the role of professional societies. With audience questions. 13:15 – 14:15 ### Lunch Dedicated networking with faculty and delegates. 14:15 – 15:00 · Session 4 ### Women's health and longevity How hormonal transitions influence metabolic health, cognition, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal health and healthy ageing. 15:00 – 15:45 · Session 5 ### Building a longevity clinic in the UK How you build the business is inseparable from the care it delivers. This session covers clinical models, patient pathways, clinical governance and GMC considerations, multidisciplinary teams, selecting investigations wisely, and ethical marketing — on the principle that the structure of a practice determines the outcomes patients receive. 15:45 – 16:15 ### Coffee break 16:15 – 17:00 ### Interactive clinical grand round Real longevity cases discussed live by faculty — executive health optimisation, women's metabolic health, early cardiometabolic disease, fatigue and biological ageing, and complex prevention cases. Audience participation encouraged. 17:00 – 17:30 · Closing keynote ### Where does longevity medicine go next? Research priorities, education, professional standards, and the future vision for UKSML. 17:30 – 19:00 ### Drinks reception An opportunity to continue conversations with fellow delegates, faculty and founding members of the society.
