Join the Strategy Unit for the first event in the Neighbourhood INSIGHTS series. This session explores what history and demographic change tell us about the future of neighbourhood health and the shift from hospital to community.
For many decades, the NHS has set the aim of becoming less hospital-centric and more community-focused. Success has proved elusive. What insights can be gleaned from this past that may help the present? As neighbourhood health develops, where might attention be required to avoid historic mistakes?
We’re also heading into a very different future. Prediction is notoriously tricky, but some things are more knowable than others: and we can see that demographic changes are set to increase demand on community-based services.
What is coming? How will our ageing population play out as service demands? Which types of service will we need more or less of? What strategies might be available to stem any unmanageable tides? And how can people responsible for commissioning and planning local community services get the information they need?
This session will present findings from Strategy Unit work reviewing recent policy history and predicting future demand for community services. The session will be chaired by Mahmoda Begum and feature presentations from Justine Wiltshire and Fraser Battye.
