Our NHS, our future: A world class NHS

'Our NHS, our future' is the name given to a wide-ranging review to develop what is in effect the next NHS Plan for the next 10 years of the NHS. This briefing summarises and RCN response to the interim report in October and sets out questions and solutions to some of the issues raised. Members are encouraged to enage in the 'Our NHS, our future' process and can find advice on how to do that at the end of the briefing.

The RCN has responded nationally through attendance at discussion groups and through meetings with national leads including Lord Darzi.

At SHA level key RCN staff and board members have linked with SHA leads and have lobbied intensively for widespread engagement of key staff on each of the clinical pathway groups. In some cases, a number of the clinical pathway groups have significant RCN representation.
