Co-Creating a Better Future in Care

Change in health and social care is shaped by lived experience and recent government reforms. This annual survey captures what is working, what isn’t, and where systems must adapt under changes in legislation and NHS developments so people can live with more choice, safety, and independence. The 2025 edition builds on last year’s findings and looks closely at the pressures, progress, and practical solutions across the sector.

Together, this evidence guides families, healthcare assistants, commissioners, teams, and partners to make decisions that respond to new policies and deliver better support in communities.
