LONDON—The National Health Service in England has benefited from being made subject to market forces since 2002 — and it continues to serve as a good example of how ‘health for all’ can be achieved. This is according to a book published by the King’s Fund entitled: “Understanding New Labour’s Market Reforms of the English NHS” looking at the effects of a change of policy allowing competitive market practices. The book’s co-editor, Professor Nicholas Mays of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, discussed its findings and conclusions with Peter Goodwin.

Produced in collaboration with London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News-LSHTM Podcast, this series from Audio Medica delves into the complex and urgent world of global health. Rather than offering simple summaries, each episode unpacks the research and real-world implications behind critical policy decisions, from pandemic preparedness and vaccine equity to tackling non-communicable diseases and climate-related health threats. You'll hear directly from the School's researchers, field experts, and policy architects as they break down their findings and discuss the tangible impacts on communities worldwide. The conversations are grounded in the rigorous science for which LSHTM is renowned, yet presented with clarity for anyone invested in the future of public health. This podcast serves as an essential audio briefing for professionals, students, and engaged citizens who want to move beyond headlines and understand the evidence shaping our collective well-being. Tune in for thoughtful, authoritative discussions that connect academic excellence with the pressing health challenges of our time.
