In their recent insight, Akeso reveals that the NHS faces growing pressure to meet the rising demand for outpatient care while ensuring timely, high-quality, and accessible services for patients. With almost 300,000 people attending outpatient appointments daily across the UK, it is clear that traditional hospital-based care models are no longer sustainable. The Health on the High Street revolution represents a bold and innovative step in this transformation. By relocating outpatient services to accessible, community-based settings, this model seeks to alleviate pressure on hospitals, improve convenience for patients, and enhance the overall experience of care.
