Reform -
In its early years, the National Health Service proved visionary. It provided high-quality care to meet the dominant needs of the population it served: timely, universal access to episodic, acute treatment. However, the structures and institutions designed to meet the challenges of the post-war world are not equipped to deal with current and future health challenges. Reform's new programme of work on 'Reimagining health' seeks to explore how to transform our approach to health. This framing paper sets out the case for change and identifies areas Reform wishes to explore in its research programme.
