Champions in universities

People training in the health professions, at university or in their first posts, are the campaign's Champions until May 2027. Each gives a talk or workshop on campus, works with local societies, educators and community health projects, and writes a short report on their year.

Where our Champions are

Our Charter

The campaign published its Charter for Champions and Advocates: six principles under three aims, which its Champions commit to.

Its three aims are Reframe Health, Reimagine Practice and Rebuild the System, and its first principle is to make prevention and health creation the default.

Round table at the House of Lords

On 11 February 2026 the campaign hosted an event at the House of Lords. Senior NHS and health care leaders, people in training, academics and policy makers discussed how the education and training of health professionals must change.

Lord Nigel Crisp chaired the round table, and NHS Charities Together's article said that the insights would be used to shape a policy white paper.

An article in The BMJ

On 16 December 2024 members of the campaign set out its case in The BMJ, in an article headed "Medical education fit for the future requires radical change".

They argue that the future health workforce must also be educated in disease prevention, health creation and patient-partnered approaches to wellbeing. Among their suggestions are more community and social care placements, and teaching with patients who have lived experience.
