    Exploring integrated care systems' progress two years on

    With integrated care systems now just over two years old, how effective are they in succeeding at their goals, and what needs to change for them to be more effective in the coming years? Matthew Taylor talks to Dr Kathy McLean OBE, chair of the NHS Confederation’s ICS Network and NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, as we release our State of Integrated Care Systems in 2023/24 report.  Before that, Matthew speaks to Bridget Gorham, health economics policy adviser at the NHS Confederation, as new research highlights the economic imperative of investing in women’s health services. An additional £1 invested in obstetrics and gynaecology services per woman in England could generate a staggering £319 million return to the economy.  We'd love to find out what you think about the podcast.

    The 18 week challenge: Getting elective care waiting times into shape

    The government was elected on a pledge to hit the 18-week waiting target for elective care within five years. But how achievable is this with the current level of investment? Hannah Farrar of CF, a health and data consultancy, argues that without strategic transformation, digitising processes and collaborative innovation the needle will barely move. Also, on the back of Lord Darzi's report on the state of the NHS in England, Siva Anandaciva from The King's Fund talks to Matthew about what is has to say on effective NHS management and looming winter pressures.

    Alan Milburn: Can the NHS be an agent of economic growth?

    With economic inactivity at an all-time high, how can national and local systems unlock the potential of millions who would like to work if they had the right support and employment opportunities? To consider the issues, Matthew Taylor is joined by Rt Hon Alan Milburn, former health secretary under Tony Blair. As chair of the pioneering Pathways to Work Commission, he calls for a rethink of how the NHS is perceived, arguing that its power to drive economic growth should be a core component of future health and economic policy. Matthew also speaks to Michael Wood, the NHS Confederation’s head of health economic partnerships, about the new government’s ambitions in this area, including the WorkWell initiative set to begin in October 2024.
