The Liberal Democrat manifesto committed to keeping people out of hospital by investing in public health and early access to community services. Prevention is also central to the government’s plans for improving healthcare. But meaningfully shifting care from treatment to prevention is easier said than done.

So how could the UK take a prevention-led approach to healthcare?

We discussed at the 2025 Liberal Democrat Party Conference in Bournemouth with an expert panel featuring:

➡️ Andrew George MP, Member of the Health and Social Care Select Committee

➡️ Jules Payne Chief Executive at HEART UK - The Cholesterol Charity

➡️ Rob Thomas, Head of Public Affairs, UK and Ireland at Novartis UK
