A Healthy Choice - building a stronger NHS

Following the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the NHS this Think:Public Forum will look forward at the challenges in NHS commissioning, management and professional, and will discuss how the NHS may look when it’s 65. The forum will consider the solutions to the challenges and debate and how to maintain a decade of reform.

Personalisation and patient choice are now integral to policy; but patients want power to choose a provider and see indicators of provider success in NHS organisations. A modern NHS can overcome these barriers and enable patient choices to increasingly shape supply models and give more power to the providers from every sector that are delivering the best care.

This forum will be one of the first to consider the implications of Lord Darzi’s ‘Our NHS, Our Future’ review and the NHS Bill announced in the draft Queen’s speech, and examine how the systems underpinning NHS delivery can change in order to transform performance without undermining the established NHS goals of equitable access and treatment free at the point of delivery.
