Drawn up by those who know the NHS best – frontline health and care staff, patients and their families and other experts – the Long Term Plan is ambitious but realistic. It will give everyone the best start in life; deliver world-class care for major health problems, such as cancer and heart disease, and help people age well.

Patient safety is about maximising the things that go right and minimising the things that go wrong. It is integral to the NHS’ definition of quality in healthcare. 

This strategy sets out what the NHS will do to achieve its vision to continuously improve patient safety. 

The NHS Long Term Plan renewed commitment to pursue the most ambitious transformation of mental health care England has ever known. The Mental Health Implementation Plan provides a new framework to ensure we deliver on this commitment at the local level.

Dementia is a key priority for both NHS England and the Government.

In February 2015 the Prime Minister launched his Challenge on Dementia 2020, which set out to build on the achievements of the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia 2012-2015.

Integrated Care Systems are a way of working, collaboratively, between a range of health and social care organisations, to help improve people’s health.

It’s when organisations work together in a shared way; sharing budgets, staff, resources where appropriate, to best meet people’s needs.
