Reclaiming Our NHS: Saturday June 23

Do you agree with what's happening to our NHS?

What can we do to protect it?

We think many people are concerned - especially now that the government has pushed through their controversial NHS changes. Pressure on our health services is already rising. The question now is: how can we all work together to protect patients and services? Our challenge is to find ways to have a bigger say over the future of NHS.So we are inviting you to Reclaiming Our NHS - a public conference in London on Saturday June 23rd - to discuss what we can do to protect our NHS; hear from experts about what's happening to our health services and meet other NHS supporters from across the country.

Speakers include:

Polly Toynbee - Guardian columnist and writer

Frances O'Grady - TUC Deputy General Secretary

Jacky Davis - BMA council and Co-Chair of the NHS Consultants Association

Clare Gerada - Chair of the Royal College of GPs

David Babbs - Executive Director 38 Degrees

Harry Keen - President of the NHS Support Federation

John Lister - Health journalist and Director of Health Emergency

Wendy Savage - Co-Chair of Keep Our NHS Public

The event will combine presentations from health experts and lively discussion involving some of the most prominent contributors to the health debate. It will also include workshops run by groundbreaking campaigners like 38 Degrees and UK Uncut, who lead discussions about how to influence the future of our NHS and raise awareness. You will have opportunities throughout the day to meet other NHS supporters and crucially to share your own views and ideas.
