Reimagining Health conference

The new Government has placed reforming the health and care system at the heart of their agenda. “Build an NHS fit for the future” is one of five key missions set out by the Prime Minister, with Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting saying this will be underpinned by three “big shifts”: hospital to community, analogue to digital and sickness to prevention.  

Achieving this will require serious, fundamental reform, but the prize is huge: a healthier nation, better served patients,  an NHS workforce under less strain, and a sustainable, resilient health and care system. 

Re:State was delighted to host this flagship conference to explore what a health system fit for the future looks like alongside key decision makers. This conference was kindly hosted by Salesforce.

Keynote address:

• Stephen Kinnock MP, Minister for Care, Department for Health and Social Care
