Streeting emphasized that public engagement is crucial in shaping the future of the NHS and launched the consultation with a call for contributions.

An online engagement platform, Change.NHS.uk, has been created to gather feedback from patients, NHS staff, and experts to inform the planned changes.

Streeting's plan includes significant investments to reform the NHS, with a focus on technology to enhance patient care and establish community-led health treatment.

Sir Keir Starmer has proposed a plan to 'reimagine' the NHS, advocating for a shift from hospital care to community care, and from analog to digital services.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting stressed the importance of rebuilding the NHS for the 21st century, highlighting the need for public engagement in this process.

The Royal College of Nursing supports the shift of care from hospitals to communities but warns that nursing staff shortages must be addressed for successful implementation.

The government is seeking input from the 1.54 million NHS workforce to help reduce waiting times and improve the quality of care.

The UK government has launched a public consultation aimed at reforming the National Health Service (NHS), marking what is described as the biggest transformation in its 76-year history.

To address privacy concerns, Streeting reassured the public that health data will be protected and anonymized as part of the modernization efforts.

This consultation is expected to shape a comprehensive 10-year plan for the NHS, focusing on improving healthcare services and addressing current challenges.

The government aims to tackle issues such as staffing shortages and increasing demand for services, which have strained the NHS in recent years.

A key aspect of the reform is moving healthcare services out of hospitals and into local communities, emphasizing care through GP surgeries, community clinics, and pharmacies.
