 18^th May 2011: Govtoday has announced it is to host the NHS Efficiency and Productivity: An Agenda for Reform Conference & Exhibition, to be held in London on Thursday 13^th October 2011. As part of Govtoday’s ‘Efficiency and Productivity’ series of events, this Conference will evaluate the latest policies and best practice to emerge from both the Government and the healthcare sector in order to drive the sustainability of our National Health Service (NHS).

 According to the National Audit Office Report published in January 2011 the NHS, “caters to a population of 51 million, employs more than 1.3 million and deals with a million patients every 36 hours”.

 However, the rising costs of healthcare and an ever-increasing demand on the service, compounded by an ageing population, means that the NHS is unsustainable in the long term in its current format. Consequently, consecutive Governments have tried to address the problem, with the current Government embarking on an unprecedented Reform process as set out in the Health and Social Care Bill; with reference to the NHS White Paper ‘Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS’ and the subsequent ‘Legislative Framework and next steps’, which gives a legal duty to continue to improve efficiency, productivity and quality outcomes for patient care.

 The event will take place at The Brewery in London (from 08:15am – 17:00pm); a Grade II listed building and holder of a City Heritage Award.
