While the discussion encapsulated a diverse range of views, what stood out most was the unity of the message: courageous investment in preventative health and communities is essential to the future health of our NHS and society as a whole

Our panel included Baroness Sater, Lucy Melleney and Richard Stubbs, and was expertly hosted by David Lee. It was an insightful and thought-provoking discussion around how to make a prevention legacy happen.

Listening to our brilliant speakers MP Abtisam Mohammed, MP Clive Betts, Dr Simon Opher MP and Prof Rob Copeland, it was clear that there is strong support for making prevention a priority

Yesterday’s Westminster launch event for our new policy report 'Delivering the Prevention Legacy for the NHS: Innovations that Help People Move' was a powerful demonstration of the critical importance of a shift to a healthcare system which centres communities and preventative health

We’re looking forward to joining policymakers, healthcare leaders, and key partners in Westminster next week to launch our new report focused on how we can achieve a prevention legacy

We will be sharing more insights, along with the full report, when it’s published next week - watch this space!
