The Five Year Forward View: • identifies the challenges facing the NHS • sets out plans for how to overcome them • describes a future for the NHS where current problems are alleviated andpatient care is given seamlessly across a range of organisations. Its goal is to achieve an NHS that: • continues to be tax-funded • is free at the point of use • is fully equipped to meet the evolving needs of its patients, now and in the future. Although not easy, it’s achievable, but only with support and action from: • politicians • the public • the NHS and its staff.
There are three areas that each have a significant and widening gapbetween current NHS resources and the demands on the service: • health and wellbeing • care and quality • funding and efficiency. The future of the NHS depends on closing these gaps,whichmeans fundamental change is needed.
Closing this gap focuses on preventing illness. Much of the pressure on the NHS is caused byavoidable illnesses, such as heart diseaseand diabetes. Supporting people to improve their own healthand wellbeing would help avoid unnecessaryhospital admissions.
How will this be done? NHS England will work with Public Health England to take action on theUK’s main causes of major health problems: obesity, smoking and alcohol. Incentivising and supporting healthier behaviour • The NHS will support national action to include clear informationand product labelling, as well as targeted personal support andwider changes to product marketing and pricing. Local democratic leadership on public health • Through local health and wellbeing boards, the NHS will supportinitiatives to improve the health of local communities. • Enable greater local decision-making on public health policy.
Targeted prevention • Establish a programme of services to help target preventableillnesses related to obesity, smoking and alcohol. Supporting people to get and stay in employment • A government-backed Fit for Work scheme will support peopleto stay in work, which in turn improves mental and physicalhealth by preserving livelihoods. • NHS England will test an opportunity to improve access toNHS services for at-risk individuals. Workplace health • NHS England and NHS Employers will develop incentivesthat ensure the NHS supports its own staff to stay healthy,and serve as health ambassadors in local communities.
People are living for longer and with more long-termconditions, meaning people need a wider range ofcare over a longer period of time. The traditional divide between primary care, communityservices and hospitals needs to be removed. Care must be joined up and provided seamlesslyacross a range of healthcare organisations. New technologies and ways of working will be neededto improve the quality of care and patient experience.
How will this be done? • Several new models of delivering care have been identified. • First and foremost is the need for a new way of deliveringgeneral practice (GP) services. • Primary care has been underfunded compared to hospitals butdemandremains high. More funding is needed to encouragepeople to become, and remain, GPs, while training more communitynurses and other primary care staff. • In addition, there are seven other proposed models of deliveringcareand several trusts have been selected to develop them.These are known as vanguards.
How will this be done? • If the new models are successful in these vanguards,they will be rolled out to other areas where similar improvementsare needed. • There will be investment in new options for the workforce,as well as training and development to make sure staff arefully equipped to support the changes. • The NHS will also be supported to better share innovative waysof working and technologies that are already happening, and toundertake research to develop new ones.
There will be a gap between patient needs andNHS resources of nearly £30 billion a year by 2020/21. To sustain a high-quality NHS that meets the changingneeds of patients both now and in the future, the NHSneeds to use its money more efficiently. This gap must be closed through taking action ondemand, efficiency and funding.
How will this be done? Preventing and managing demand • Preventing ill health will reduce demand for services and themeasuresto address the health and wellbeing gap will havea positive effect on this. Redesigning more productive services • Different ways of working and harnessing innovation and technologywill ensure the NHS works more efficiently and cost-effectively. Maximising the value of the NHS budget • Understanding spending patterns across the NHS will help to seewhere changes could be made and reduce variations. • Transparency will help to understand if money is being spent well.NHS England will develop a common measure of the good useof resources in the NHS.
The NHS workforce is crucial to achieving the Five Year Forward View’s goals. • No new care models or strategies can be achieved in the NHSwithout the support of its workforce. • NHS England will work with Health Education Englandand NHS Employers to ensure a non-discriminatory environmentwhere staff are healthy, engaged, sufficiently trained, productiveand supported to raise concerns where necessary.
