The Summit is the Nuffield Trust’s annual flagship event. It brings together a diverse range of NHS, social care and policy leaders, disruptors and innovators to discuss how health and care systems should respond to current and future challenges, engaging in new thinking and developing ideas that can make health and social care better. The make-up of the audience is crucial to view issues through different lenses, bringing a range of evidence to bear in addressing the gap between policy and reality.

The Summit will take place ahead of a likely 2024 UK general election and will provide a platform for policy makers and contributors to debate the health and care priorities for the next government and examine some of the major long-standing problems and policy decisions that have contributed to the multiple challenges facing health and care today. Themes and sessions that will be weaved into the programme include tackling health care inequalities, shifting attitudes and expectations over work, productivity, risk in health care and the emerging role of AI.

The Summit is also live streamed and we will share details of how to watch the sessions on our virtual platform soon.
