“It was really quick – straight, out,” Phil Brown says he leaves a smart glass building at a shopping center in Barnsley.

He has scanned only an ultrasound at the NHS Center which sits between familiar high road names. This is easy healthcare-is convenient as popping for shops.

This is part of the government’s vision for the future of NHS, will soon be set up in a 10 -year plan. In England, ministers have already promised three major changes: transferring more services from hospitals to community, preventing sick health and focusing on using new technology more.

The BBC Panorama spent months in the South Yorkshire, who already change how they work, to see what would take to fix a healthcare which is baking under increasing demand.

NHS also has to cut in waiting time, money is tight and the organization which currently runs it, NHS England is being scattered to reduce bureaucracy,

Another deep root problem – a care system supports old and disabled people in the community, which is understood, is less and in crisis.

Government critics say you cannot improve NHS unless you improve social care, as it helps people to get out of the hospital faster and prevents some from being admitted to the first place.

An independent commission will start looking at social care reforms next month. There will be an interim report, but the final report is not till 2028.

It was challenged whether you can improve NHS without changing the social care, health and social care secretary, telling the Ves Streeting Panorama that he does not need to wait for a review and plans to turn more NHS money in social care.

“I want to spend more resources through social care, as it provides better results for patients and better value for taxpayers,” they say.

Streeting will not be drawn on how much money will be included, but said that the details about spending on social care will be in the 10 -year NHS scheme.

Most care is paid by the councils, or by those who require it. This can eliminate the cost of some families of thousands of pounds. NHS only helps people with the highest needs.

It took about six weeks to obtain a non-essential scan at the Barnsley Hospital, but most people at the city’s NHS center next to the shops are seen in two weeks.

Center’s new scanners and X-ray machines have increased the number of patients, can see the number of employees and free the hospital so that it can focus on emergency conditions and inpatients.

Phil was removed from her chin four weeks before skin cancer and the advisor wanted to examine a pair of pea -shaped lumps in her stomach. Scan results will be sent to his GP.

“This is about peace of mind. You are not waiting for appointments,” they say.

Liz Elphate, Medical Imaging Manager at Barsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, who helped establish the unit, described it as the future of NHS.

“We have seen a decrease of about 50% in patients who do not participate for appointments,” and the number of women accepting an invitation for a regular breast screening appointment has increased from 43% to just 80% in three years, “she says.

The Center, which offers a series of health check -ups and scans, was opened in 2022 under the final orthodox government. The current labor government says that many more services will now exit the hospital.

In the Barnsley, this is already happening. Another shopping center part is being converted into each other, large health center. The project will be funded by the local council, regional mayor and a government grant.

Sir Steve Huton, leader of the Lebor-Run Barnsley Council, says the scanning center has shown that NHS facilities can promote the centers of the city, and they guess that when they travel, people spend an average £ 17 in local businesses.

The second big innings is being asked to make NHS to make more focus on preventing sick health. In the Sheffield, a GP practice has already begun to do so, so that they could help manage a charge that they say that had become heavy.

Five years ago, Steel City General Practice analyzed data for its 10,000 patients, which required the most help. “So we then said, let’s actually bring them in continuously. They have not contacted us – we have contacted them.”

GP appointments usually take about 10 minutes, but Steel City Practice gave these patients first to try to try to get problems. He also took a risk and did not chase a national target to see all patients within two weeks.

Dr. Kasarneni says that it has paid. “The number of strokes has decreased over that five years. The number of coronary heart disease is reduced,” they say. This has helped doctors to manage their charge better.

Better health of patients has freed some appointments, and on average people do not wait long to see anyone, but growing old population means they are still very busy.

While the GPS will be important for the government’s 10 -year plan, of them are not enough. Considering those working part-time people, the equal number of perfectly qualified, full-time GPS is less than a decade ago-despite the large population.

The third of the large NHS changes is the better use of new technology. At the Royal Hallmashire Hospital in Sheffield, they are using AI to expedite the heart scan.

Earlier, a radiographer will take about half an hour to manually plot different points around the 3D image of the heart and identify any changes from the scan made six months ago. Now AI settles it in a few minutes.

Professor Andy Swift, who developed AI equipment with hospitals and Sheffield University colleagues, says it has been used in 10,000 cases in the last few years. He says that it is saving about 30 minutes every time.

“At the time when we have saved, we have managed to scan more patients and also report more for patients,” they say.

Despite these innovations, changes on the government’s promise in NHS, which struggled to deal with increasing demand, is difficult.

To solve NHS problems, social care also needs to be dealt with, which supports about one million old and disabled people in the community.

In February, NHS England data showed that around 14,000 people could not leave the hospital, partly due to lack of home and residential care. More social care can also reduce fall and reduce diseases.

Martin’s family – who is 41 years old and is autistic, with cerebral palsy and epilepsy – says that Sheffield Care Worker Darren Leh has become like his brother in 20 years. Darren knows that Martin is unwell when unwell and can quickly seek the correct help.

“We pressurize NHS on a long time,” they say. “There are people (also) in the hospital who need to come out, but cannot do it because they cannot find their care.”

The care system has struggled with underfunding, lack of employees and increasing demand over years. Like many care firms, the not-for-profit company Darren works as saying that it is “a little bit of a knife” as the government is also increasing the cost of giving employment to the people. National insurance and national minimum wage of the employer will increase in April.

The government says that it will give about £ 900 more to the council in England for social care of adults and children next year. Across the UK, support for family carers will be increased and a fair salary agreement is being signed for employees.

Talking to Panorama, Streeting says that in social care, there is a large part to play in case of hospital care in the community “. He says: “I believe that we can spend NHS resources more effectively through social care.”

The main opposition parties in England agreed that social care needs to be improved.

But conservatives say that there is no real plan of the government.

Liberal Democrats say NHS cannot be decided without fixing social care. Improvement UK wants to simplify social care through single funding stream.

And the Green Party is calling for free social care.

There are also questions on whether NHS has money to make all the changes given by the government.

This was a budget of £ 171bn in the financial year 2023-2024. It was also given an additional £ 21bn in two years. NHS providers, representing trusts in England, say most of the money have been eaten from everyday pressures including an increase in wages, inflation and increase in the price of medicine.

This warns that these competitive pressures make it more difficult to require changes.

Health and Social Care Secretary agree that it will not be easy, but says that he cannot “put the increasing amount of taxpayers’ money into a system that has not been established to use the money best and to provide best care for patients”.
