Ben Dyson, Executive Director of Strategy, NHS Improvement explains the next steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View and reflects on the important role governors have to play in achieving its goals.

The original NHS Five Year Forward View in 2014 set out why improvements were needed on:

• better health
• better care
• better value

This new plan concentrates on what will be achieved over the next two years, and how the Forward View’s goals will be implemented via Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships.
