In this episode of Health on the Line, host Adam Brimelow looks ahead to NHS ConfedExpo 2026, featuring interviews with Sir Jim Mackey, Chief Executive of NHS England, and Sir Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of The NHS Alliance.
As the Ten Year Health Plan approaches its first anniversary, Adam explores with both leaders how much progress has been made over the past year and crucially, how much meaningful transformation is possible at a time of constrained funding and sustained operational pressure.
Elsewhere in the episode, Adam is joined by Stuart Hoddinott from the Institute for Government and Anu Singh, Chair of the Integrated Care Boards spanning Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, to reflect on the government’s plans to restructure the NHS and abolish NHS England.
The episode also examines the implications of Alan Milburn’s interim report on young people and work. Adam is joined by Rebecca Gray, Director of The NHS Alliance’s Mental Health Network, and Dean Royles, Chief Executive of NHS Employers, to explore what the findings mean for the future of the NHS workforce.
