The NHS at 75

This 75th anniversary year presents a moment to reflect on how far the NHS – and healthcare services around the world – has come. In her keynote address at THIS Space 2023 on 29 November, THIS Institute director Mary Dixon-Woods will describe how our work is supporting improvement in three key areas:

• Characterising and understanding problems - understanding a problem is the first step towards solving it.
• Developing possible solutions to problems – healthcare isn’t short of recommendations but there’s a clear need for evidence to support them.
• The ability – and capacity – to evaluate problems and solutions.

She suggests, “The future of the NHS, we believe, lies in large scale research, design, process improvement and evaluation, and developing local capability.”
