2023 Overview
In their 2022 report Sir General Gordon Messenger and Dame Linda Pollard stated that “institutional inadequacy” has developed over time. However, this comment should not be a surprise to either the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care or anyone senior in the NHS.
Prior to the 2022 report there have been a series of reports since Dame Carol Black published her seminal Working for a healthier tomorrow in 2008.
The panellists in this conference will debate the hard issues facing front line NHS employees. From bullying behaviours to the challenges faced by many dealing with inequality and how this negatively impacts the patient, NHS employees and the UK taxpayer. The purpose of the debate is to find sustainable solutions that benefits all NHS stakeholders.
