Five Year Forward Review

This document reviews the need for the NHS to change and what the future will look like with regards to the relationship between patients and communities. The need to change involves addressing 3 gaps; the health and wellbeing gap, care and quality gap and the funding and efficiency gap. The former is the most relevant to the physical activity sector whereby the document states the need to incentivise and support health behaviour in order to decrease preventable diseases. It calls for local democratic leadership on public health as well as targeted prevention programmes.

This document is most useful for those interested in the public health side of sport.
