In its 75th anniversary year, this book examines the history, evolution and future of the NHS.

With contributions from leading researchers and experts across a range of fields, such as finance, health policy, primary and secondary care, quality and patient safety, health inequalities and patient and public involvement, it explores the history of the NHS drawing on narrative, evaluative and analytical approaches.

The book frames its analysis around the four key axes from which the NHS has evolved: governance, centralisation and decentralisation, public and private, and professional and managerial.

It will address the salient factors which shape the direction and pace of change in the NHS. As such, the book provides a long-term critical review of the NHS and key themes in health policy.

Reviews for The NHS at 75: The State of UK Health Policy

"""'The NHS at 75' is an authoritative, wide-ranging, but carefully focused review of the current state of the NHS and its future prospects. The authors are all leading social scientists analysing health policy in the UK today."" Nicholas Mays, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. ""No other city hosting the Olympic Games would showcase their health system as the centrepiece of the opening ceremony. Yet London, in the Summer of 2012, did. But behind those evocative celebrations lies an NHS which is historically contested and political, and currently under tremendous pressure. To understand all this and more, you must read this book."" Jeffrey Braithwaite, Macquarie University"
