Launch of a new Demos pamphlet and a discussion on the future of medicine and healthcare.
Approaching its 60th birthday, the NHS faces a flood of chronic illness. Prevention and self-management are increasingly vital but increasingly difficult. Patients are losing their traditional trust in medical experts and gaining access to new sources of information. It is now time to rethink and rebuild relationships between patients, professionals and the public.
With the noise of recent healthcare reforms, the everyday conversations that matter most have been drowned out. In this pamphlet, we look at innovative relationships that are starting to emerge and the barriers to further change. We argue that the future of the NHS lies not in new structures or new technologies, but in new conversations.
