Two paths: investment or severe rationing

This is a watershed moment for UK health and care. The positive opportunities of UK and global investment must be used to tackle the backlog in elective care – otherwise the country faces grave problems of rationing for years to come.

Aiming for Health Success is a new initiative which will develop the case for new public / private collaboration in health and care to deliver extra services and support. It will combine the insights of its network of NHS and care leaders, and leading companies, with the latest academic and policy analysis. It will produce frequent publications and online communications and hold events with policymakers and health care leaders.

AFHS is run by Andrew Haldenby and Professor Nick Bosanquet. It is funded by companies who will sponsor major events and receive regular policy and market commentaries.

Aiming for Health Success believes that UK and global investment can realise exciting developments in services which can quickly reduce waiting times and improve quality. Examples include but are not limited to:

New modular centres for elective treatment and rehabilitation
New out of hospital support and monitoring, with home care teams.
Strengths of private sector: access to capital, international expertise and international staffing
Integrated IT / quality monitoring with NHS
Services which add vital resource for reducing backlog and new support for elderly patients
