Supporting healthier lives – the shift towards prevention

There is currently remarkable consensus across think tanks, institutions, and political parties that a move towards a preventive state is key to creating a healthier nation.

A preventive approach can help people live healthily for longer while also addressing many of the problems within the health and care system, allowing for proactive population health management and tackling of health inequalities. 

Creating a healthier nation needs a collaboration between people, places, the NHS, and businesses, as well as government. If the new government is committed to improve the health of the nation, it should create an approach to health that spans all government departments, includes actions to reduce health inequalities, and implements measures that help people to make healthier choices. 

At this King's Fund in-person event, we make the case for how prevention can create a healthier nation, why it is particularly important now, and propose tangible actions for making this shift at the national, system and local levels. Join us to understand why prevention is key to supporting healthier lives and how it can be made a reality.
