We have identified four particular areas of priority focus for the coming strategy period that represent pressing issues where a big shift is required to deliver positive change for people.
People first. We will put people at the heart of what we do. Only by listening to those who use services and those who work in them can we design a health and care system that meets people’s needs and improve the health of the nation.
Creation of good health for all. We will work for the creation of good health across the life course, including the broader socio-economic, physical and policy environments that shape population health and inequalities in health.
Reimagine social care. We will value the vital role of social care in giving people the dignity and freedom to live a fulfilling life for longer. We will shine a light on solutions needed for meaningful reform.
Innovate now and for the future. We will take a longer-term view, identifying and modelling future trends to better comprehend the impact of demographic and technological changes. We will consider the huge potential of innovation across the life sciences, and of digital, AI and future technologies for health and care. We will support people to navigate these changes and learn from the best.
