Like the United Kingdom itself, the National Health Service needs renewal to meet the challenge of the next century. Critically, this requires that we reexamine the values which underpin the NHS - building on its postwar foundations but learning from subsequent disappointments and adapting to contemporary conditions. By reflecting on personal experiences we can identify values informing the everyday practice of successful health care and show their relationship to wider social assumptions which provide the context for health system design. Through sharing in dialogue about these values we can empower ourselves to shape a better future
