10 Year Health Plan for England: Fit for the Future 

The 10 Year Health Plan sets a bold new direction for the NHS, focused on better care, smarter use of technology, and tackling the causes of poor health.

It introduces three major changes: shifting more care into communities, embracing digital tools, and focusing more on prevention. These changes aim to improve access, personalise care, and make the NHS work better for everyone.

This page shows how the NHS in London is already putting the plan into action — through local case studies that highlight more joined-up, convenient care and better support for patients and communities.

“The 10 Year Health Plan is an optimistic and practical strategy to get the NHS back on its feet, and make it fit for the future. The three big shifts described in the plan will change how the NHS works, enabling us to deliver better care for all patients.

“I’m proud that London is home to exemplary services that are already shifting their care focus from hospitals to communities, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention. In doing so, we are personalising care, giving more power to patients, and ensuring that the best of the NHS is available to everyone.”

Dame Caroline Clarke, Regional Director of the NHS in London
