60th anniversary of the NHS

At the 60th anniversary of the NHS, the SMF has brought together a range of stakeholders in the health service and invited them to spend “60 seconds on the next 60 years” – thinking aloud about the health service of the future. Senior politicians, NHS staff, patients and their advocates and academics have all contributed their thoughts. These short pieces are intended to identify challenges and opportunities for the health service from a range of different perspectives, highlighting the issues that will be at the forefront of the public debate on health.
