The NHS Expo aims to “inspire leaders and clinicians to make improvements for patients and service users,” with almost three-quarters pledging to start new projects or initiatives after visiting.

This year’s Expo is focused on bringing the NHS Long Term Plan to life. With that in mind, we sat down with our partners for the Expo, the Patient Information Forum, to explore what the Long Term Plan lays out and what it means for the future of health literacy.
