One year ago, the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care launched the 10 Year Health Plan, setting out a vision for creating a health service that is ‘fit for the future’.
This conference will explore how much has changed in practice and whether patients, staff and communities can actually feel the difference?
The plan sat at the centre of the government's reform agenda. It set out three major shifts: moving care from hospitals to communities, preventing illness rather than simply treating it, and making better use of digital technology.
A lot has changed since then. We now have a new Health and Care Secretary. We will have a new Prime Minister, who will bring their own priorities for health and care. And we may have a new Chancellor. The teams that developed the plan have moved on, NHS England is being brought into the Department of Health and Social Care, and the NHS Modernisation Bill is making its way through Parliament. Yet despite all of this, the broad direction of travel remains the same.
The question now is less about what the plan promised and more about what has been delivered. Are neighbourhood health services taking shape? Is digital technology making care easier to access and use? Is there real progress on prevention? And what difference, if any, is all of this making to people's experience of health and care?
This conference is sponsored by Roche and Abbott.
Together, we will examine:
what progress has been made and where tangible change is being seen
what challenges have emerged, where leaders have found ways through, and what these early experiences tell us about what comes next
what the changes set out in the plan mean in practice for those working across health and care
what will need to happen next if the ambitions of the plan are to translate into lasting improvements in health and care

2025 event recap
The government has been saying for the past year that the NHS is broken, backed by an investigation in 2024 by Lord Darzi that comprehensively highlighted a wide range of problems, and public satisfaction with the NHS at an all-time low. The plan leans into that rhetoric – stating that ‘the choice for the NHS is stark: reform or die’.

National and local leaders shared insights and learnings on the challenges facing the health and care system as implementation takes place across the country.
During the event, we showcased pioneering case studies that are leading the way in delivering the plan, and delegates had the opportunity to join peers from across the system to find out how to move from pockets of innovation to widespread change.
'The conference is a way to remove yourself from the day-to-day treadmill, whilst still being immersed in NHS policy. The set up allows reflection and reframing of issues to enable gear changes in workstreams back within provider services.' - 2025 event attendee
