The NHS Five Year Forward View
The NHS Five Year Forward View This new report sets out a new vision for the future of the NHS showing how the NHS needs to change over the next five years if it is to close the widening gaps in the health of the population, quality of care and the funding of services.
The report looks at why change is needed, what that change might look like and how it can achieved. It describes various models of care, defining the actions required at local and national level to support delivery. It covers areas such as disease prevention; new, flexible models of service delivery tailored to local populations and needs; integration between services; and consistent leadership across the health and care system.
The Five Year Forward View starts the move towards a different NHS, recognising the challenges and outlining potential solutions to the big questions facing health and care services in England. It defines the framework for further detailed planning about how the NHS needs to evolve over the next five years. NHS England
