The health and care system continues to face rising financial deficits, a growing and aging population, increasing cost pressures and endemic staffing shortages.
At this free online event, our expert panel provided insight into how the new government is delivering on its priorities for health and care. The recent Autumn Budget 2024 delivered some hope of improvements, but it is unlikely to deliver a step change in access or quality to care. We explored how national and local leaders can tackle the short-term challenges while identifying the long-term changes that are needed to put the health and care system on a more sustainable footing.
Catch up on demand to hear about progress made in delivering the government’s health mission, which sets out an ambition to secure ‘a fairer Britain where everyone lives well for longer’ and gain insights into how the 10-year health plan, due to be launched in Spring 2025, aims to deliver an NHS fit for the future.
Our expert panel answered key questions on the big issues you want to see progress on in 2025, including:
how the social care system is in desperate need of reform and investment, and options for establishing cross-party consensus to inform a 10-year plan for social care.
why moving towards prevention is particularly important now given the context of widening health inequalities, and how to make the shift a reality at national, system and local levels
plans to achieve triple devolution where power and resource will be pushed out of Whitehall to integrated care boards, to providers and to patients.
investing in the workforce to increase staff numbers, improve conditions and cultures, and reduce stress and burnout
how the government’s Change NHS initiative is involving public, staff and wider health and care organisations on the three key shifts that it wants to make: from treatment to prevention, from analogue to digital and moving care closer to home.
