Lord Darzi’s report stands at 159 pages – it is a deeply impressive feat to forensically analyse the NHS and its context in just 8 weeks.
It makes for stark reading, the diagnosis is comprehensive; it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the NHS is in critical condition.
And yet the vital signs are strong. I have worked with exceptional clinical teams, with colleagues who dedicate their careers to delivering high quality care, but their efforts are too often frustrated by a faltering system. Indeed, I have dedicated my career to healthcare and feel firsthand the frustration of many as CF supports organisations to improve and transform.
The report doesn’t make for easy reading, but it does convey a message of hope. My hope is that with a government committed to reforming the trajectory of the NHS, the tide will turn.
The NHS is not beyond repair but an institution with the inherent capability to be rebuilt as the best in class, a class to which the international community once again aspires to emulate.
We need to harness the talents of an engaged workforce in the right conditions, embrace data and digital to modernise staff and patient experience, and overhaul financial flows and capital regime. This will require bravery and conviction to fundamentally shift the way care is delivered.
I was heartened by the Prime Minister's details of the government’s 10-year plan for the NHS.

Helpful infographic summary of Lord Darzi’s report.
Digital technology features to address the shortcomings, and used well I think it can be a catalyst to re-engage the workforce and re-empower patients, but…there needs to be investment in a clinical informatics workforce to connect these elements and make the most of the technology.

Thanks, Hannah, for the insightful post. CF's policy digests are incredibly helpful as we navigate and comment on such crucial reports.
When I moved from the US to the UK in 2011, a key motivation was my belief in the NHS's potential to focus more on prevention. Supporting people throughout their lives offers a unique chance to invest earlier and reduce poor outcomes and costs. For a decade, I’ve been working towards this vision in the UK and beyond.
I agree with you that the system isn't beyond repair. However, as the report highlights, fundamental shifts are needed to realise its full potential. We must utilise all assets—health and care; public and private—to drive this transformation.
When I worked with NHSE in population health management, we used a familiar benchmark that 5% of the population generates 50% of the costs. At Tunstall, we strive to see the world from the perspective of those using our technology-enabled care solutions. People with Tunstall technology in their homes often represent the high risk--or rising risk--population--those one button push away from the next crisis, A&E visit or admission. In our managed UK centres alone, we support nearly 100,000 vulnerable citizens. Our call centre operators handle over 1 million calls annually, and make over 30,000 emergency calls. Some simple modelling based on these numbers suggests that the cost to the NHS for those emergency calls—including the ambulance services, A&E visits, and admissions, could be upwards of £100m GBP.
We’re eager to contribute to discussions on scaling prevention and enhancing community-based care. For instance, in Spain, our proactive approach leverages data to identify at-risk individuals and focus resources where--and when--they’re needed most. The vast majority of our calls are outbound--preventing crises rather than only reacting.
With challenge comes opportunity. I hope this next chapter fosters the transformation needed for the NHS and the wider care ecosystem to lead in community-based, digitally-enabled preventive care.

Results of the 2023 NHS National Staff Survey have been published today! Thank you to colleagues that completed the survey. We're really pleased to see a number of improvements, but we still have work to do in some areas. See the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e5yD2VbV
This is a rather good speech by Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP with some very clear policy direction. Worth reading in full to balance the rather partial media coverage.
🎯 a new accountability model for ICBs that ultimately promises greater freedoms (maybe an FT model for ICBs?) in return for greater transparency on performance. Clear from the speech that this is based on creating support and investment as well as a backstop for significant failure.
🔎 more transparency for patients to choose care according to quality, ending the pseudo choice we have at the moment where it is impossible to find information on the performance of specific interventions by specific healthcare professionals.
Lots of detail to be worked out including:
❓ how to define performance - building on what has been done for FTs previously might be an option but requires dedicated resource (we do not have a Monitor anymore and need a much more progressive failure/success regime).
❓ what patients will be able to see and how - NHS app offers massive opportunities here and robust outcomes are defined for many (but not all) clinical interventions
❓ should accountability be focused on managers/CEO or also apply to clinical staff - ironically the CEO of an NHS trust might be less powerful than much of the clinical staff and has very few levers to address poor performance unless it is catastrophic.
❓ are league tables based on focusing on poor performance the most impactful or should this be framed as celebrating and learning from good performance - interesting lessons to be learnt from Italy and elsewhere on what a truly supportive and self-improving system might look like.
It's going to be interesting to see whether 11 separate workstreams will be able to provide a coherent operating model (e.g. how financial incentives link to accountability and innovation) rather than reinforcing siloed thinking. Reforming healthcare requires systems thinking given the complexity. This means applying a very different set of policy tools. Will that come from the way it is currently structured and supported?
Most importantly, the NHS is not salvageable without investment and focus on public health. Is there enough focus in the 10 year plan working groups?
We will have to wait and see as to whether the long screwdriver from Whitehall will really be retired when the going gets tough. Equally, will local systems really embrace the freedom offered or stay in their comfort zone of learnt helplessness?
