Industry Relevance 

Naidex National, more widely known as simply Naidex, holds the title as the largest disability, home care and supination event in the UK with a storied history that first began in 1974. Now 50 years later, it’s the main source of product discovery and support for the disability community. The doors at the National Exhibition Centre (The NEC) in Birmingham open every March to show the full spectrum of the latest equipment for the disabled and elderly, as well as services related to care and rehabilitation. Naidex caters not only to trade visitors such as representatives of nursing and retirement homes but also to individuals seeking solutions for independent living.

The primary objective of the exhibition is to present products and services that empower people with disabilities and seniors to live independently and improve their quality of life. Alongside the diverse range of exhibitors, Naidex offers a comprehensive program of seminars, demonstrations, and the Naidex CPD conference for healthcare professionals.

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Naidex welcomes a wide audience that doesn’t stop at medical professionals looking to enhance their development through CPD-accredited seminars or industry experts that have vested interest in emerging technological advancements. Naidex focuses on those living with disability and their families, who are looking to best support them on their journey.

The type of exhibitors varies greatly thanks to the Naidex Marketplace, whose mission is to make access to aids financially possible. 

Additional Value of Attending 

Naidex, in collaboration with Disability Horizons, is proud to introduce the Naidex Marketplace—an exciting addition to the event that offers attendees the opportunity to explore and purchase affordable daily aids, tools and resources. This dedicated area within Naidex showcases a range of invaluable products designed to make the lives of disabled individuals easier and empower them to live the life they choose.

What sets the Naidex Marketplace apart is its emphasis on affordability as products available for purchase start from as little as £5, which for many people with disabilities of lower income is of great value. This ensures that attendees can access and benefit from a wide range of practical and innovative solutions without spending a small fortune.

Naidex maintains an excellent information programme for professionals complete with top expert demonstrations and CPD certified seminars. The programme is divided across nine distinct theatres and there’s so much to discover. The most recent addition to the line-up is the Accessibility and Care Theatre, which looks at the newest assistance technologies and adaptations that are enhancing care and independent living through the lens of the people in the role of carers. Content is meant for healthcare professionals and occupational therapists as well as carers and users themselves.
