Event Overview
Q&A with David Brindle, Public Services Editor, The Guardian
As the first flowers of spring start to bloom, what has been the impact of one of the worst flu seasons and NHS winter crises in recent years?
As Jeremy Hunt fast approaches becoming the longest serving health secretary in British political history, how has he survived one of the most lethal briefs in politics? How has he communicated the progress (or lack thereof) in the NHS and social care? How have the two sectors themselves used the media to raise the temperature on debates about funding pressures?
As David Brindle, Public Services Editor at The Guardian, has recently written, Jeremy Hunt’s legacy lives or dies in this 70th anniversary year of the NHS. David will provide his insight on the challenges Mr Hunt seems to have deliberately set himself, and the importance of carrying the public with him – after all the NHS is our national religion.
This event is worth 15 points in the PRCA CPD Scheme.
