Join us for a special collaborative event between RSA Health, Care and Wellbeing Network and Healthwatch England.
Feed your views into a national conversation that will drive long-term national planning of health and care. We will be joined by guest speaker Neil Tester, Healthwatch England Deputy Director.
As part of the events commemorating 70 years of the NHS, Healthwatch England has been asked to lead a national conversation on the future of health and social care. The conversation will be live throughout September until mid-October and will feed into long-term strategic planning by NHS England and others. Healthwatch England will analyse people’s input and will publish the key insights in early December for use, not just by NHSE, but also by health and care more generally, the research community, the Third Sector and the business sector.
The conversation has three strands:
- Roles, responsibilities and relationships – who will need to be responsible for what from 2030 onwards? How will they need to relate to each other - at personal, family, community and organisational levels, including employers, the voluntary and community sector, mutual organisations etc as well as public sector agencies?
- Needs – what will our future wellbeing, support, care and health needs look like 10, 20 or 30 years from now, and how might those needs be met?
- Technology – how much importance should we place on different emerging technologies, use of data, genomics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning? What confuses, worries or excites us about this? What resulting choices might we need to make as a society, who should be making them and how?

How does one now join and contribute to the network from mid-November onwards?
This is a very interesting initiative. I am cofounder of www.cities-rise.org which is concerned with the proper development of mental strategy across our major cities both in the global north and south. It is reckoned that by 2050 some 75% of global pop will be living in urban settings. If these stats apply to our own country and our "own" NHS then it gives pause for thought. We already know of the current under-funding of mental health services in mental health but it is also clear that if were to take a systems approach to MH city by city we would need to imagine "mental health care delivery" as being integrated across the great departments of our cities thus: health, housing, education, police and emergency services, parks (greening and design of the city), transport and the world of work. It is just not possible to deliver mental health care only through the mechanism of medical care and it's delivery. With over 450 million people suffering mental ill health globally at any one time a genuine holistic approach is called for...and we need to understand how this can be determined in our own big (and growing) cities.
