A very important review of the NHS. A  groundbreaking document that lays out a clear vision for the future of healthcare in the UK.

An emphasis on innovation and technology in healthcare. An ask that is not new but needs to be delivered this time around.

Some highlights:

The NHS is in a ‘critical condition’. Better management decisions would have made minimal difference. NHS vital signs remain strong. We cannot afford not to have the NHS. It will take time to repair the NHS.

Important themes regarding the solution: Re-engage staff and empower patients / Shift care closer to home re budget location / Simplify and innovate care delivery / Drive productivity in hospitals / Tilt towards technology / Contribute to the Nations prosperity / Reform to make the structure deliver.

330 analyses were commissioned for use in the review.
