2024 Key Themes
This year began with the NHS facing a number of unsustainable pressures, including record-high waiting lists, staff shortages and insufficient capacity to meet the needs of patients. However, with an election on the horizon, both major parties are laying out their manifesto promises with NHS reform at the centre. Topics for discussion include:
➤Progression through prevention: How can we build a healthcare system that is fit for the future?
➤How can life sciences R&D drive innovation and improve patient outcomes?
➤Putting people at the heart of care: How can we deliver high-quality social care provision across the UK?
➤How can we tackle health inequalities and support people across the UK to live better, longer lives?
➤Let’s get digital: How can new and innovative technologies accelerate treatments and improve healthcare provision?
➤Greener health: How can a net zero future transform UK healthcare?
