About the event
As the NHS celebrates its 70th birthday, health care services are often in the newspaper headlines but usually highlighting crises and problems. There are also Government promises of new plans and funding. So what is the truth? After 70 years, what state is the NHS really in and what does the future hold?
To address these and other questions about the NHS locally and nationally, the Centre for Health Services Studies is hosting a public question and answer event with a panel of national and local speakers. This is your chance to ask about the health of the NHS both nationally and locally.
Our panel will include:
Professor Sir Nick Black
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Rosie Duffield MP
Canterbury MP, UK Parliament
Professor Steve Smith
Chair of East Kent Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Steve Inett
CEO, Healthwatch Kent
