A Picture of Health: Wellness in a New World Order
Join us for a forward-looking exploration of healthcare’s next chapter
In this year's NCL in Action series, we'll examine, diagnose and offer treatments to today's ailments.
What does the future of health look like? How can we tackle rising inequalities, mental health challenges, workforce shortages and the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence? And what role can each of us play in shaping a healthier future?
These are some of the big questions at the heart of NCL in Action for the 2026/27 academic year. The future of health is in our hands: let’s make it a clean bill.
