This week we’re focusing on the NHS.
On the 3rd of July the UK’s Prime Minister, Kier Starmer finally announced the NHS’ 10 year plan. His Labour government laid out a vision for where the healthcare service should head over the next decade.
The announcement has been met with mixed responses. The plan has some good ideas - but a lack of vision combined with scarcity of detail leave many questions about how well its aims can be implemented.
In this podcast we're joined by 3 experts to dissect the details of this plan
- Jennifer Dixon is chief executive of the Health Foundation
- Katie Bramhall-Stainer is a working GP, and chairs the BMA’s General Practice committee.
- David Oliver is a consultant geriatrician, and a columnist for the BMJ
