On 12 September 2024, Lord Darzi’s independent review of the NHS was published. This highlighted the numerous challenges faced by our stretched health services and the impact these are having on its performance. The government launched a national conversation to understand the views and experiences of the public, patients and health sector workers.  

As the UK’s membership organisation for heart failure professionals, we are committed to representing our members’ views and ensuring your voices are heard at the highest level. We submitted our response to the 10 Year Plan consultation which you can read here/ below. 

Thank you to all who contributed to our response. We received valuable member feedback at our Annual General Meeting, through our partners and from our Patient Advisory Panel, who provided insight into their experience living with heart failure.  

By working collaboratively, we can improve outcomes for patients living with heart failure and halt the rise of this life-altering condition.  

The NHS plays a pivotal role in improving public health and we must continue to support and strengthen it to ensure it remains fit for the future.
