The future of the NHS: balancing competing priorities for the benefit of patients and policy
Even before the demands of the recent pandemic, the NHS was operating severe pressure. Against a backdrop of greater life expectancy and the critical need for effective social care, coupled with the development of revolutionary new treatments, can the 75-year-old NHS model adapt to provide fit-for-purpose prevention, early detection and treatment, and social, primary, secondary and tertiary care? What is the future of the NHS?
Join our distinguished panel including Jonathan Van-Tam, former Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Professor Kamila Hawthorne, Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, and leading figures from the sector in conversation with Trinity Fellow and Clinical Director of the University of Oxford Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, Christopher Butler as they consider and discuss the future of the NHS.
