Through the Crystal Ball: The Three Shifts Reshaping Our NHS?
Our annual Medics’ Day will be held on Saturday 7th March 2026.
This year’s theme looks to the future. Our speaker panel will explore the major transformations currently planned for UK health care, each drawing on examples from their own clinical, research or policy work. Together, we’ll consider whether these three shifts really do offer a glimpse of the NHS to come, in an interactive discussion inviting our Somerville Medical community to imagine – and challenge – the future of our health service.
A more detailed Programme will be published shortly:
- From 10.00am Coffee and registration in the Margaret Thatcher Centre
