What's health got to do with it? Why we have to change our approach to delivering healthcare in the UK As a proportion of gross domestic product healthcare spending in the UK has tripled in the last 50 years. In the last 10 years the number of doctors employed by the NHS has increased by almost 50%. Unprecedented advances in diagnosis and treatment options for most major illnesses have occurred within the lifetime of a generation. Yet despite this more people than ever before are living in poor health and with long term conditions. The inexorable rise in healthcare delivery costs are unsustainable for most Western economies - so what are the options? This session will explore some of the issues facing the UK with regard to the delivery of free at the point of access healthcare. Dr. Peter Mills, Director, Glasslyn Health Solutions |
