What if health care was decarbonised?
What if everybody switched to a plant-based diet?
What if nobody was prescribed medicines that didn’t work for them?
What if digital technologies supported all aspects of care delivery?
What if our health and care system was the cornerstone of an economy that values, prioritises, and thrives on the health and wellbeing of our communities? With our ongoing research, development of the Change Initiative, and new funding from Innovate UK, Wellcome, and many others, we’re pursuing these questions. Of course, answering them is only the first step. Success comes when these questions are no longer relevant; when the seemingly impossible is realised.
Measurable policy change has long been on OHE’s agenda, and never so palpably as in 2025. But we also need to consider when mere policy change is enough and where system change, and even social change are needed.
