The longest-serving Health Secretary in history believes another 1948 moment is possible and preventable harm and tragedy in the NHS can be eliminated. Thinking through everything from technology to culture, join him as he presents a manifesto live at The Conduit.
The NHS is the pride of Britain. It’s an army of highly skilled and talented healthcare professionals, armed with the most cutting-edge therapies and medicines, and a budget bigger than the GDP of most countries in the world.
Yet there is increasing conflict between public pride in the NHS and the exhausted daily reality for many doctors and nurses, now experiencing burnout in record numbers. Waiting lists are up, staffing numbers inadequate, and all the while an ageing population and medical advances increase both demand and expectations.
With pressures like these, is it surprising that mistakes start to creep in? Every week there are 150 avoidable deaths in England; tragedies that could have been prevented if we were better at learning from mistakes.
As the former Secretary of State for Health and current Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee, Jeremy Hunt believes it is possible to reduce the number of preventable deaths in the NHS to zero - in the process saving money, reducing backlogs and improving working conditions.
At this exclusive event presented in collaboration with the How to Academy, he joins The Conduit's Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Paul van Zyl, to tell us exactly how.
