Details

The 10 Year Health Plan is part of the government’s health mission to build a health service fit for the future. It sets out how the government will reinvent the NHS through 3 radical shifts:

• hospital to community
• analogue to digital
• sickness to prevention

To support the scale of change we need, the government will ensure the whole NHS is ready to deliver these 3 shifts at pace:

• through a new operating model
• by ushering in a new era of transparency
• by creating a new workforce model with staff genuinely aligned with the future direction of reform
• through a reshaped innovation strategy
• by taking a different approach to NHS finances

The government committed to co-developing the plan with members of the public, health and care staff and partner organisations. To do this, Change NHS was launched on 21 October 2024 - the biggest ever conversation on the future of the NHS. Through Change NHS, the government received over a quarter of a million contributions from the public, health and care staff, health system leaders and organisations with an interest in health and care.
