Fabian Society Health and Care Mission Summit

The Government has set out a series of missions they are seeking to deliver. The centrepiece of their policy agenda, the missions are ambitious, long-term objectives that aim to provide a driving sense of purpose for the country.

The Fabian Society will be holding a series of Mission Summits. These day-long events will be held in central London, bringing together hundreds of senior delegates to explore in detail how the Government can deliver on its missions. Our first is the Health and Care Mission Summit – exploring all aspects of health and care policy, including the ‘three shifts’ in the 10-year plan, covering facilitating care in communities, prevention, technological advancements, as well as the roadmap to a National Care Service, the critical role of Britain’s life sciences sector, and the importance of tackling the mental health crisis, and establishing a health led approach to addictions such as gambling

Each summit will include a mix of keynote sessions, including speeches from senior politicians, and breakout sessions on key policy areas.
