We’re thrilled to announce that Assist Security Group will be exhibiting at the NAHS Annual Conference & Awards 2025—and we couldn’t be more excited about it!
This is one of our favourite events of the year. It brings together passionate healthcare security professionals from across the country, and the conversations, connections, and collaborations that happen over those two days make it an absolute highlight.
If you’re attending, please come and say hello to our wonderful team. We’d love to meet you.
Celebrating Six Award Nominations
We’ve got even more reason to celebrate this year—we’re finalists in six categories at the NAHS Awards!
We’re honoured to be shortlisted for:
- Healthcare Security Innovation Award
- Healthcare Security Manager Award
- Healthcare Women Role Model Award
- Healthcare Security Team Award
- Healthcare Security Officer Award
- Violence Prevention Initiative Award
These nominations reflect the incredible dedication and hard work of our teams across NHS trusts throughout the country. We’re immensely proud of what we’ve achieved alongside our clients, and these recognitions belong to everyone who’s been part of that journey.
The awards ceremony takes place during the conference gala dinner, sponsored by Verkada and Nuology. Whether we take home trophies or not, we’re celebrating the fantastic work happening across healthcare security—and we hope you’ll join us.What to Expect at Our Stand
Our team will be at our exhibition stand throughout the conference, ready to have genuine, meaningful conversations about healthcare security.
Come and talk to us about:
- Practical strategies for supporting NHS staff, patients, and visitors in your trust
- Violence reduction programmes and what’s actually working on the ground
- Innovative training approaches that build confident, capable security teams
- Your experiences and challenges—we learn as much from you as we share
This isn’t about sales pitches or corporate presentations. It’s about connecting with people who understand the unique challenges of healthcare environments and sharing what’s working (and being honest about what isn’t).
We genuinely value these conversations. The best ideas often emerge not from formal sessions but from the genuine exchange of experiences between professionals who get it.
Why We Love the NAHS Conference
The NAHS conference is special because it brings together people who truly understand that healthcare security is unlike any other sector.
The challenges are unique: balancing openness with safety, creating secure environments that still feel welcoming, and protecting staff whilst maintaining the caring ethos that defines the NHS. It takes specialist knowledge, sector-specific experience, and a deep understanding of healthcare dynamics.
This year’s conference features:
- Outstanding speakers and subject matter experts
- Approximately 28 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovative approaches
- The full spectrum of healthcare security solutions—from training programmes to technology systems
- Most importantly: the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and learn from each other
The formal programme is excellent, but honestly, some of the most valuable moments happen between sessions—where real challenges get discussed, practical solutions get shared, and lasting professional relationships get built.
Meet Our Team
We’re bringing a fantastic team to the conference—people who live and breathe healthcare security every day. They work across NHS trusts, understand the pressures you’re facing, and are genuinely passionate about making healthcare environments safer for everyone.
They’re not there to lecture or sell. They’re there to listen, share, and learn alongside you.
Whether you’ve got specific questions, want to share successes from your own trust, or simply fancy a good conversation about healthcare security, our team will be ready and waiting.
And yes, there might be cake. We’re celebrating those six nominations, after all.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the conference itself, we’re excited about the future of healthcare security and the role collaboration plays in driving real improvements.
The connections made at events like NAHS 2025 create ripple effects—shared learning, better practices, stronger networks. That’s why we invest in being part of this community, not just as a service provider, but as active participants in moving the sector forward.
Healthcare security professionals are doing incredible work across the country, often under challenging circumstances. Events like this remind us we’re part of something bigger—a community committed to protecting those who care for us.
