The Future of Healthcare to 2030: Implications for the international community and NHS Stakeholders

With speaker Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite of The Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences, Macquarie University

Abstract

Multiple trends are in train which will reshape healthcare across the decade of the 2020s. These include the need to create sustainability in the provision of care; managing changing demographics and disease patterns; adopting genomics and integrating it into care; assessing artificial intelligence and its impact on care; and implementing new patient-oriented models of care. With 148 contributing authors from 152 countries^{1, 2} I have devised a roadmap for change and am attempting to build the impetus for the transition to be skilfully managed. We will discuss the implications of this work for the international context health and the National Health Service.
