Key Themes
The year began with nurses’ strikes, which served to underline the struggles that the NHS faces, including staff shortages, insufficient capacity and a post-Covid backlog. A two-tier system is fast emerging in the UK, in which those who can afford private healthcare pay, while others languish on waiting lists and our social care systems are overburdened. However, health and care provision has come a long way since the pandemic began, with the crisis serving as a catalyst for innovation. As well as significant challenges, there are also opportunities that, together, we can grasp to build a high-quality, resilient health and care system. Our conference explores what all of this means for what is arguably the country’s most pressing policy issue: the future of UK healthcare. Key themes this conference will cover include:
• 75 years of the NHS: What works, what doesn’t and what's next?
• How can the life sciences sector work with the NHS to innovate and improve population health?
• How can we support a sustainable, resilient social care system?
• How can we tackle health inequalities and improve outcomes for people in disadvantaged areas in the UK?
• The future is digital: How can data, technology and virtual services improve healthcare provision?
• How can we leverage life sciences R&D to improve treatments and patient outcomes?
