The NHS: Safe, sustainable & fit for the future

Health & Wellbeing

Finance & efficiency

Step change in prevention

Care & quality

“The NHS needs to adaptto take advantage of the

opportunities that science& technology offer patients, carers & those who serve them.”

Identified areas for action include:• Harnessing technology to reshape

care delivery• A step change in prevention• The need to exploit the information

revolution

Five year Forward View recognises a scientific revolution is needed –evolution is not enough


The role of leadership in driving the future of healthcare

Embrace future disruptive

technologies

Put patients at the

centre of care

Digitise healthcare information

Shift focus from treatment to prevention

How care must

change in the future

Key Scientific technologies cut across all these areas:

Genomics and functional genomics

Big data and artificial intelligence


Biomedical science and the UK Industrial StrategyInvesting in science, research and innovation “Innovation is not just about a few people in labs making breakthroughs, but about adopting new and more productive ways of working.

“To become a more innovative economy requires the ability to seize new opportunities and adapt to change.

“The United Kingdom has the advantage of a strong science base – including more Nobel Laureates than any country outside the United States.”

Building our Industrial StrategyHM Government, Jan 2017

We ask NHS England to promote and support participation by NHS organisations and patients

in research funded both by commercial and non-commercial organisations.
