Overview

Pneumonia is still one of the most common reasons for urgent assessment, hospital admission, deterioration, and avoidable antibiotic exposure. NICE NG250 (2025) brings CAP and HAP guidance together, updates key areas and strengthens the practical “how” of delivering diagnosis and treatment within clinical timeframes.

Older people with pneumonia often present differently, deteriorate faster, and recover more slowly — especially considering  frailty, multimorbidity, dysphagia and care home transitions. This conference brings together NICE NG250 (Sept 2025) guideline leaders, frontline NHS experts, care home prevention innovators and specialist pneumonia nursing to translate national guidance into an end-to-end pathway from early recognition and timely diagnosis and treatment including care bundle delivery and antimicrobial stewardship through to safe discharge,  recovery and aftercare.
