Transforming healthcare to support global challenges
The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is rising to the challenges facing our evolving healthcare needs, such as the rise of chronic diseases and is heavily focused on transforming patient care, outcomes and patient experience. The NHS is celebrating 75 years of healthcare provision.
Healthcare UK is working with NHS organisations and other UK healthcare providers to share learnings and find healthcare opportunities globally.
A global problem
The UK has some of the most advanced and largest cancer services in the world!
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with an estimated 23.6 million new cancer cases in 2021 and almost 10 million individuals dying from cancer-related causes.
Meanwhile, cancer care is being driven by a revolution in technology in digital health, robotics, precision medicine and the internet of things.
Faced with rising demand, spiralling costs, gaps in workforce and increased public expectations, the NHS has developed a system that encourages cutting edge research and imaginative solutions to translate into real patient care.
This has led to more accurate diagnostics and monitoring, new surgical and pharmaceutical treatments and new ways of identifying cancer patients outside hospital.
Today, the UK continues to maintain its position as a world-leader in cancer research and healthcare.
