The Challenges
There are numerous challenges facing leaders in health and social care across the UK as identified by the Health Foundation recently, including:
Life expectancy is stalling and health inequalities are widening
Long-run trends in health and care spending show a decade of underinvestment
People are living for longer but with major health conditions
Staff shortages are persistent, with stress and burnout high
Public satisfaction with the NHS is at a record low, but support for its core principles remains rock solid
The NHS is repeatedly reorganised, while social care is overlooked
