The Current State of Our NHS – John Todd

Is our NHS now at breaking point — and why? In this informative and surprisingly entertaining talk, John Todd examines the growing pressures facing the health service, from rising demand and changing patient expectations to workforce shortages and the long‑term decline in UK clinical training. He explores how the UK compares with similar countries, highlights the most worrying trends, and explains the actions being considered to improve outcomes.

John encourages questions throughout and invites the audience to share what they would change. A thought‑provoking session for anyone concerned about the future of our NHS.
