Championing Efficiency, Productivity and Quality of Care

Andrew New, Chief Executive Officer of NHS Supply Chain, discusses how together we can address today’s challenges and successfully achieve tomorrow’s transformation.

The NHS stands at a pivotal moment. Faced with a complex array of ongoing pressures – from workforce shortages and treatment backlogs to ageing infrastructure and financial constraints – the system is undergoing a profound and necessary transformation. It is a critical time for decisive action and innovation.

The 10 Year Health Plan sets out a bold vision for reform, to ensure the NHS remains sustainable, resilient, and able to deliver high-quality care. Every one of us will have a role to play in enabling this future. NHS Supply Chain, as the national provider of procurement and supply chain services within the NHS, is strategically aligned with these national priorities and committed to supporting this transformation.

In the short-term, we recognise the immediate challenge of winter pressures and remain committed to working with you to unlock savings, deliver value, support improvements in patient care, and ensure supply chain resilience. We cannot take our eyes off these, nor the collaboration required to deliver the immediate outcomes patients deserve.
