Future Trends Overview
The King’s Fund is launching a new programme of work to stimulate debate about the changes needed for health and social care to meet the challenges of the future. Our Time to Think Differently programme aims to generate new thinking about how to address these challenges and deliver a transformation in services for patients. To ensure this work is rooted in a clear understanding of the issues that will drive change, we have undertaken a review of some of the most significant trends and drivers that we believe will affect health and social care services over the next 20 years.
Here, we provide a summary of these drivers and their key implications. We do not explore in depth the consequences for the way in which care may be delivered, rather we hope these ideas provide a stimulus and evidence base for future debate and thinking. A comprehensive analysis of the drivers of change in health and social care can be found on our website (www.kingsfund.org.uk/think). We hope the analysis will provide a valuable resource to support policy-makers and health and social care leaders in engaging in long-term, strategic thinking about how services need to change.
