Major conditions strategy: case for change and our strategic framework

Good health should be fundamental to all our lives. But that is not the case for too many people living in England.

While professional carers often face low pay and poor working conditions, care performed within or between households is not paid at all.

From listening to action: voices of people and communities (virtual)

Almost everyone working in health and care agrees that users’ experiences should drive the design and improvement of services. There are strong moral and ethical reasons for listening to people’s voices, but, in the current context of the health and care system, how can services ensure that listening to people’s voices is a priority and leads to meaningful change?
