An alternative animated guide to the new NHS in England

The King's Fund have produced an animated guide to the structure of the post reform NHS. It gives a whistle-stop tour of the new organisations that have come into being as a result of the Health and Social Care Act and explains how they fit and work together, as well as looking at some of the political influences on how the reforms came into being.

The new NHS in 2013 infographic poster

NHS Employers have produced a simple poster that clearly illustrates the new structure of the NHS post April 2013.

The poster is aimed at both NHS staff and the public and shows the new structure on both national and local levels including some of the new organisations that have been created.

 The poster is available as a .PDF in both A4 and A3 sizes.

An interactive history of the NHS and NHS reform

The Nuffield Trust have created an interactive history of the NHS and its reform. The timeline goes back to the creation of the NHS in 1948 and charts the service's development and change, right up to the present day.

You can scroll through the history of the NHS, decade by decade, see key reports and publications, access further information, and watch embedded videos.

The timeline also outlines the current NHS reforms in detail, how they came about and looks at the likely future of change in the NHS. It will be updated when significant changes and developments take place.
