Innovation in technology can drive enhanced care delivery &
improve the quality of patient care
Summary:
• An Ageing population and increase in LTC will continue to place increasing demands on
the NHS
• Healthcare spending is growing at an unsustainable rate* – challenge to do more with less
• Greater focus on prevention rather than cure – closer working with Social Care teams.
• Shift in lifestyle focus and personal responsibility – ‘wellness’ and personal health budgets
Technology has a significant part to play in the service evolution – lessons can be learnt
from developments in other industries
*McKinsey Research estimates global healthcare spending is set to grow by 5.5% a year. By 2080, the cost of healthcare will be 40% of the World’s GDP
