NHS 10 Year Health Plan – Primary Care
As you may be aware, the government is currently holding the biggest national conversation about the future of the NHS, inviting the public to input via the change.nhs.uk portal to shape the 10 Year Health Plan.
We know trainees and NHS staff are working harder than ever to get services back on track, to get waiting lists down, and consistently deliver the best care. Yet too often we are struggling to provide the right care, in the right place and at the right time. This is no good for patients or colleagues providing care.
Change is needed, and we also know that many of the solutions we need are already here, working, training, or volunteering somewhere in the NHS today.
For the 10-year health plan to meet the needs of patients and service users, we need their voices, experiences, and ideas of how thing could improve.
Alongside the ongoing call for the public, staff, and the wider health and care community to share their thoughts on the ambitions for the NHS and healthcare, we are making a specific ask of healthcare trainees to engage in Change NHS through using:
- Community engagement – our Workshop in a Box contains everything you need to engage a group of people in a conversation about the 10-year health plan for health. A facilitator briefing guide, a set of slides to help you run the workshop and a feedback form to share back what you hear. The online deadline for returns is 14 February 2025
- Change.nhs.uk – individuals are also encouraged to tell us about their own experiences to help us prioritise key challenges facing health and care or suggest an idea for improving the NHS.
Whether you have a little to say or a lot, your views, experiences, and ideas will shape immediate steps and long-term changes: a new 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS.
