Description

Shifting the focus towards prevention and well-being could help to address a number of the demographic and financial big picture challenges. By focusing on preventive services, and avoiding the development or deterioration of long-term conditions, expensive treatment and care options can be avoided in the future. This will decrease demand and free up resources for those who really need them. Shifting towards prevention will be a key challenge for a system that has always focused on treating those who are ill, rather than helping the population to stay healthy. This can significantly alter the requirements of the health and social care workforce as it will impact on the level of health need.
