Can the NHS meet its 2% productivity challenge? With @strategyunit.bsky.social​ we gathered 14 experts from clinical, policy and research backgrounds to forecast NHS productivity growth over the next decade. We share their thoughts based on understandings of current trends ⬇️ bit.ly/4qnzZLi

Important report on an often overlooked service - especially pleased to see suggestion of peer review which IMHO is an effective & engaging way to address variation & learn collaboratively. And can be done pragmatically (www.midlandsandlancashirecsu.nhs.uk/case-studies...).

Rising public expectations are described in the #10YearPlan as a major factor shaping healthcare of the future. But how are expectations changing? I argue we need a better handle on how expectations are changing: www.strategyunitwm.nhs.uk/news/expecta... #PatientExpectations #NHS

Expectations: The hidden driver of healthcare demand
