Thanks to everyone’s involvement in tonight’s debate. Great discussions, particularly around the role of the #VCSE sector. #nhs70 teapawt.org/rcpfuture/status/10221… – at Liverpool, England
Estephanie Dunn says we tend to look for a one size fits all approach - this might not work locally. We need to be bold in our planning processes. @theRCN #NHS70

The default model for public services going forward won't be private or public - they will be neutral. @alexsharedlives talks about the importance of a human feeling within services. #NHS70

Shutting out of voluntary sector wouldn’t happen if we actually put people at the heart of their care. #NHS70 – at Liverpool, England

#NHS70DigitalWeek we're encouraging you to do something digital. There's loads of great digital services available for you within the #NHS - but are you using them? #NHS70

A bigger challenge than even the funding, is the workforce. We don’t have enough people working in the NHS, staff feel undervalued and stressed, and grant funding for nurses has been stripped. #nhs70 teapawt.org/nhsccpress/status/1022… – at Liverpool, England

Dr John Dean says 70% of #NHS spending is on staffing - he asks how are we going to staff the NHS in the future and how will they have the skills to deliver new models of care? #NHS70 @RCPFuture
.@alexsharedlives argues that we need a harder edge to our approach to consultation - People understand change but they need to be able to see it. We need to involve people in the discussion early. #NHS70

The answer to convincing the public of needed service changes in the NHS is to move beyond consultation to genuine co-production with the public, says @alexsharedlives at #nhs70 debate. When engaged the public get it and will often support changes. Current approaches too limited.

Panel argue that public don't want to have the conversation about how we find and recruit new staff - they want to see adequately staffed services. @benatipsosmori #NHS70

Response from the panel: be honest with the public and staff. Find ways to engage, not tell, says @EstephanieDunn #NHS70 teapawt.org/rcpfuture/status/10221… – at Liverpool, England
Our third question from Jan Ledward, @liverpoolccg: What will it take to convince the public, NHS staff and politicians that changes are needed to ensure the NHS continues for another 70 years? tinyurl.com/nhs70debate #NHS70
