Providing insight into the evolving healthcare landscape that every doctor should know

The healthcare landscape is evolving at a pace that few can keep up with, or even appreciate. Changes to provider types, the locus of control, service reforms, competition and more present a confusing picture to even the most up-to-date clinician, let alone the majority running frenetically just to cope with the day-to-day clinical load. However, the raft of changes creeping (marauding) in represent both tremendous risks and opportunities for the frontline teams taking the trouble to understand their current and evolving environment. This one day programme strips the rhetoric away from the harsh reality of modern healthcare and provides an insight into the drivers of change, likely political manoeuvres and what this really means for secondary/tertiary Trusts and the clinical teams within. Trust us - you need to know this!

This programme has been brought by demand from many recent attendees, insistent that this insight is shared more widely because of its implications. Medicology have been fortunate enough to work near the heart of current reforms, ensuring our insight is current and far from superficial.
