NSR Summary

What is the Next Stage Review?

The NHS Next Stage Review is about shaping the NHS over the next decade. The aim of this national review is to identify a world-class 21st century NHS which is led by our best clinicians, puts the patient first and listens to local people.

Healthy Ambitions is the outcome of the regional review in Yorkshire and the Humber. We want to create better health and a better health service for you.

Why are we doing this?

The NHS has come a long way in the last ten years. There have been real improvements in patient care but we cannot stand still. There are new challenges to be faced. Our population is ageing. There is rising obesity.

There are advances in clinical practice and technologies, and changing public expectations, so we need to look ahead to identify what good quality care looks like in face of these challenges and opportunities.

We cannot ignore the impact that these changes will have upon how care and treatment are delivered. We need to anticipate changes and adapt to make sure we have an NHS that provides world class care whilst remaining true to its founding principles.

We want, and need, to improve the health of people living in our region. Better care and fairer care for all.
