Reminder: Launch of Workshop in a Box to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan


Last month, the government announced the launch of 10 Year Health Plan engagement exercise – an online platform Change.NHS.uk – where the public, clinicians and experts are urged to submit ideas on the future of the NHS. 


In the biggest national conversation about the future of the NHS since its birth, the entire country has been called upon to share their experiences of the health service. 


The public engagement exercise will support the development of the government’s 10 Year Health Plan and is due to be published in spring 2025. The plan will be underlined by three big shifts in healthcare – hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention. 


The aim is to co-develop the plan with the public, patients, and staff, so that everyone owns the plan and feels the difference in their daily lives. 


Eleven working groups have been established to support the development of the 10 Year Health Plan. 


On Monday (18 November), the government launched ‘Workshop in a Box’ on the Change NHS portal to help facilitate conversations with local communities and shape the 10-year health plan. 


This resource includes a facilitator guide, workshop slide deck, and a feedback form. Online sessions to support facilitators will run until mid-January 2025. The resource will be available until Friday 14 February 2025.
