Policy Connect and the APHG are delivering a series of three parliamentary events, organised in partnership between leading think tanks, the Health Foundation, Nuffield Trust, and The King’s Fund. 

The series has been tailored to the needs of parliamentarians in conjunction with the All-Party Parliamentary Health Group (APHG) and will be chaired by Dr Simon Opher MP.

Each event will offer an in-depth exploration of a specific area of health and care policy, uniting experts from across all three think tanks. These sessions are designed to provide parliamentarians with comprehensive insights into the state of the nation’s health, and the structure and functioning of health and social care services in the UK, supporting your parliamentary and constituency duties.
