Preparing tomorrow’s healthcare ecosystem
‘From hospital to community’ is one of the three overarching objectives of the Labour government’s NHS 10-year plan published in July 2025. After decades of talking – during which time NHS spending in acute hospitals has continued to swell inexorably, UK healthcare now seems poised for real change. The vision for it is reliant upon a complete redesign of systems that can take services to people in convenient community settings, as opposed to the current process of asking people to come to large, crowded, siloed, inefficient NHS hospitals.
The inaugural Out-of-Hospital Healthcare Conference 2026 will explore how a whole range of currently active independent sector operators, together with those that are yet to be developed, can help bring this objective to fruition.
It brings together independent sector healthcare providers, investors, NHS commissioners and strategic managers, insurance companies, policy makers and other stakeholders with an interest in driving this agenda forward. Not to forget consumers of privately paid healthcare services, where a similar transition is taking place, though to a lesser extent, from hospitals to clinics and other settings closer to customers’ homes.
Our CEO Michelle Corrigan will sit on the panel discussion: How Can Tech Serve Neighbourhood Health
