The 20th Sir Arthur Hall Memorial Lecture

2nd February 2018

Lecture synopsis This year the NHS celebrates its 70th birthday.

  There have been significant changes in health and medicine in the UK over the last two decades, and in many areas of healthcare very substantial changes since the initial foundation of the NHS in 1948.  These include major reductions in the impact of heart disease and stroke, large changes to infectious diseases and many improvements in the prevention and treatment of cancers.  In some areas such as diabetes or antimicrobial resistance things are moving in the wrong direction.  The demography of the UK has changed and is changing in the wrong direction.  The demography of the UK has changed and is changing.  Many of the trends have been remarkably stable so it is possible realistically to project forward 20 years in many areas of medicine and public health.  This helps with planning research and policy.  The 2018 Sir Arthur Hall lecture will consider where we have come from and where we are going over the next two decades in health and medicine.
