The Department of Health and Social Care has published the 10 Year Health Plan for England. The AMRC is working to unpack the detail and will continue to keep members updated.

Nicola Perrin, Chief Executive of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) said:

"The 10 Year Health Plan sets out an ambitious vision for the NHS. It recognises that life sciences and innovation must be at the heart of transformation. There is also a welcome focus on making research a core part of everyday activity for the NHS workforce, and increasing research capacity in community settings. However, success will depend on effective implementation and clear deliverables. 

"Report after report has set out the potential for the NHS to be a global leader in clinical research – now is the time for action. Medical research charities have an unparalleled understanding of their disease areas and patient communities. They must be key partners as this blueprint is brought to life."
