Professor Naomi Fulop in conversation with Nigel Edwards
Programme
It is widely acknowledged that the NHS (and Care sectors) are broken: bulging waiting lists, workforce shortages, poor morale. What should be on the 'to do list' for an in-coming new Government? What improvements could be achieved in the first few years, and what will take longer? Nigel Edwards, formerly Chief Executive of the Nuffield Trust, will be in conversation with Naomi Fulop, Professor of Health Care Organisation and Management at UCL.
