The Westminster Health Forum aims to provide the premier environment for policymakers in Parliament, Whitehall and government agencies to engage with key stakeholders in timely discussion on public policy relating to health and healthcare. These include health professionals in the NHS and the private sector, and representatives of the organisations they work in; businesses in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors and their advisors; patients` and other interest groups, and the voluntary sector; and academics and commentators, along with members of the reporting press. In planning its programme of events, the Forum consults Parliamentarians, senior departmental officials, regulators, industry representatives and major interest groups.
