Twelve key takeaways from Labour’s 10-year NHS plan | NHS
1 and 1 The NHS application becomes a “doctor” in the pockets of patients
The NHS application will be extended to become a “doctor” in patient pockets. A new part of it, my NHS GP, will use AI to help people sail the service better, take patient symptoms, ask questions and provide advice.
Patients will also be able to use the NHS application to reserve meetings from a distance or face to face, manage the prescriptions, register for a clinical trial and check that their vaccines are up to date. They will be able to book urgent appointments rather than waiting for hours in A & e, with services capable of sorting in advance.
The plan claims that the end of the “rush 8 am for a GP meeting” and allowing patients to make an appointment digitally, rather than via “the complicated process today”, would save 200 million pounds sterling over three years.
2 Tables of the patient league this summer
Patients will be able to choose where they care, in a section of the application called my choices. To help them choose, from this summer, the NHS will publish “league tables” easy to understand. The NHS application will also provide data on waiting times, patients and the quality of care, including data on clinical teams and particular clinicians. The complaint processes will be accelerated.
3 and 3 Integrated digital patients
The NHS will again attack it to integrate it into a health and disparate care system. Ministers have announced that a law would be adopted to ensure that all health and care providers should record information on patients they have on a “patient file”. From 2028, patients, as well as health and care professionals, will be able to access this file on the NHS application, which will hold their medical records, their personal health risks and other data. Pharmacies will be more responsible to manage long -term conditions, which will also be linked to the single patient file.
4 Patients referring for hearing tests, advice, podology and back pain
The plan puts an end to the need for general practitioners to refer patients for certain ambulatory services. Everyone will be able to use the NHS application to self-referet themselves for musculoskeletal problems, podatrie, audiology and discussion therapies on mental health in a decision which, according to ministers, “will considerably head” the waiting lists and release the GPS and the new health services in the neighborhood.
5 Scanned “Red Book” system for recording health files for babies and children
The Red Book – which provides a physical file for the development of babies and children – will be digitized, with parents capable of accessing their child’s medical records via the NHS application. The application will also provide advice and advice on weaning and healthy habits and will finally record food and sleep habits and offer advice when children are not good.
6. Greater use of AI and genomic sequencing and free portable devices in certain areas
Hospitals will be “released” with greater use of AI and other new technologies. The AI scribes will be used for administrative tasks such as the filling of patient notes and the writing of letters, which makes AI “each nurse and assistant to the doctor” to save them time and help them make decisions. Greater use will be made up of genomic sequencing, in order to make it universal for all newborns. Portable devices must become standard in preventive, chronic and post-Aiguë treatment of NHS by 2035, all NHS patients have access to it. The devices will be given free of charge in areas with the highest health and deprivation. The use of surgical robots will be extended from 2026.
7 One million people offered a personal health budget by 2030, all eligible people by 2035
About 180,000 people currently have a personal budget, allowing them to decide how to spend money for their care such as physiotherapy, mobility aid, a wheelchair or special activities. But too few people get personal health budgets. Ministers wish to double the number of people offered these personal budgets by April 2029, with 1 million patients offered by 2030. By 2035, ministers want budgets to be available for everyone.
Throughout England, 250-300 neighborhood health centers will be created, have announced ministers, with 50 operational staff by 2029, offering only one place for more “integrated” care, available at least 12 hours per day, six days a week. They will have general practitioners, nurses, physios, care workers, mental health workers and employment advisers. The cost of each center would vary “from low million to around 20 million pounds sterling,” said Health Secretary, Wes Streting, “depending on whether it is an upgrade, renovation, expansion, or even new construction”. The objective is to “end patients external to the hospital as we know it” by 2035. Urgent treatment centers and other emergency care services the same day that prevent patients who must be admitted to acute hospitals will also be widened.
9. The treatment objectives have brought back and promise to put an end to the “corridor care”
The plan promises to put an end to what he describes as “the shameful spectacle of the corridor” care “and to bring the objective of the NHS so that 92% of patients start treatment within 18 weeks of the reference.
10 Emergency services specializing in mental health
The plan announced 120 million pounds sterling to be spent for around 85 emergency services in mental health, so people are not found in A&E. Mental health support teams at school and young term centers will be widened to increase support for children’s mental health.
11 Access extended to weight kicks and anti-obeying measures
The NHS will negotiate new contracts to allow more people to access weight kicks. People will be encouraged to become healthier thanks to a new “health reward scheme”. Advertising with junk food intended for children will be limited, the sale of high caffeine energy drinks at under 16 will be prohibited and the sales of mandatory natural food reports will be introduced for large food companies. Alcoholic beverages will have to display nutritional information and coherent health warnings, while the alcohol -free and low -alcohol market will be encouraged.
12 More NHS staff
The plan will create 2,000 other learnings in nursing care and 1,000 specialized training stations, and will expand the places of medical schools, prioritizing British students. Thousands of other general practitioners will be trained and the number of consultants will be extended. Recruitment abroad must be limited to 10% by 2035. Dentists trained in the United Kingdom will have to work for the NHS for three years.
