In autumn 2024 we published Transforming child health services in England: a blueprint, which called on the UK government to commit to restoring health services for children in England.
Six months on, Ronny, Alison and Bruce take a close look at what our advocacy work through our blueprint means for elective and community services. The trio also reflect on some of the challenges along the way as well as the opportunities to come over the next six months.
There's a focus on the Long-Term Workforce Plan and 10 Year Health Plan refresh and how the recommendations in our blueprint have helped focus the College’s approach to these major opportunities.
As ever when working in influencing, events often overtake us no matter how hard we plan. As such, it is worth noting that this episode was recorded before the College heard the news that NHS England would be abolished.
You'll get a rare insight into how staff and members produce policy and then use this to influence decision makers at a national level.
