NHS Next Stage Review Final Report : High Quality Care for All



Over the last 12 months Lord Darzi (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State) has led the NHS Next Stage Review. As a result High Quality Care for All, the final report of the NHS Next Stage Review has now been published

 

High Quality Care for All is about enabling visions of high quality health care to be delivered and supporting improvements that have been developed and agreed locally. 

 

The final report sets out wide-ranging proposals that place quality of care at the heart of everything the NHS does, empowering patients and staff to secure effective and personalised care.

It sets out a vision for a 21st Century NHS that:

 

  • Helps people to stay healthy.

 

  • Gives patients more rights and control over their own health and care.

 

  • Gives patients even greater influence over the services they use.

 

  • Places quality at the heart of everything it does.

 

  • Is pioneering, and embraces the best new ideas and treatments.

 

  • Values its staff and empowers them to lead local change.

 A High Quality Workforce has also been published, which sets out a strategy for improving workforce planning, education and training.
