The King's Fund Annual Conference 2012
About this event
This year, our Annual Conference took a critical look at NHS performance and considered if we are doing enough to meet productivity goals. It focused on how to deliver patient-centred care, and whether our public health and preventative agendas are robust enough to maintain a healthy population now and in the future.
