Health reform
Health reform brings together all the major changes needed to create an NHS that always puts patients first. It shows how making services fit around patients can push standards up right across the system. It will help local health care organisations as they strive to offer the sort of convenient, comfortable, high-quality care that people need and will choose to use long into the future.
How health reform works
The different elements of health reform that are working together to provide a genuinely patient led NHS.
Why more change?
The NHS needs to make long lasting improvements to create health services for everyone.
What does it mean for me?
Health reform will bring different opportunities and benefits for staff, patients and service users.
New Deal for Carers
