Lord Darzi's recent review has exposed critical issues within the NHS in England. Our health service is facing serious challenges, including:

· Underfunding: Insufficient funding and poor distribution of resources.

· Low Productivity: Despite increased staff, productivity remains a concern.

· Long Waiting Lists: Mental health, hospital appointments, and cancer care waiting times are longer than ever.

· Poor Access: Vulnerable groups struggle to get the care they need.

· Health Inequalities: Disparities in care access and outcomes for ethnic minorities.

· Poor Patient Rights: Limited awareness of patients' choices and rights.

Join us for a Panel Discussion where experts, healthcare professionals, and advocates will address these pressing issues, explore potential solutions, and discuss what the future holds for the NHS.
