The National Health Service (NHS) in England is embarking on a profound transformation, spearheaded by its new 10-Year Health Plan. This ambitious strategy aims to fundamentally reshape healthcare delivery by 2026 and beyond, driven by three pivotal shifts: from hospital-centric care to community-based services, from analogue processes to digital-first operations, and from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in the UK has recently drafted a 10-Year Health Plan that places Integrated Health Organisations (IHOs) at its core. This plan signifies a radical reform in the structure and governance of the NHS, aiming to shift care from hospitals to communities, leverage technology, and prioritise prevention.
