This seminar asks, “Is the NHS in crisis?” How is the NHS coping with increased demand and pressures to deliver excellence, in a context of increasingly limited resources and ongoing structural change? Is our current model of healthcare sustainable in the current political climate? What are the alternatives?
This seminar will benefit from a panel of speakers involved in service delivery and planning from a range of backgrounds who will each put forward their perspective. The audience will then have the opportunity to put questions to the panel in a Question Time style debate. We aim to provide the audience with up-to-date information and an improved understanding of the challenges in provision of effective healthcare, to enable them to go on to become skilled advocates and effective leaders in the future.
