The New Statesman’s annual Future of Healthcare conference will rethink the challenges facing our healthcare systems to find actionable policy solutions that improve patient outcomes, empower the workforce and build a resilient, forward-looking NHS.
The government has made the NHS central to its agenda, promising to cut waiting lists, improve productivity, expand the use of the NHS App, and upgrade the estate while meeting net zero goals. But challenges remain: growing waiting lists, a stretched workforce, ageing estates, uneven access, rising demand, and a difficult economic climate for public investment.
How do we improve patient outcomes, support staff, and build a service fit for the future? What opportunities can we seize as we move towards prevention and neighbourhood care, use digital and data to make access simpler, and move life-changing innovations from trials to treatment? How can stronger adult social care unlock flow in hospitals, and where should investment in estates, supply and net zero be focused to add reliable capacity at lower cost?
Bringing together policymakers, NHS leaders, local government, clinicians, patient voices, industry and researchers, join us on 28 October to explore the government's priorities, test delivery models that can scale, and the measures that matter so the NHS can deliver world-class care.
