With growing pressures from an ageing population and chronic workforce shortages, social care reform is urgent and complex. This session explores what a reformed care system could and should look like, and the changes required to deliver sustainable, high-quality care for the future. Baroness Louise Casey, Chair of the Independent Commission into Adult Social Care, shares insights from the Commission’s work, why it’s so vital, and outlines priorities for meaningful reform. The session concludes with an audience Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers, reflect on the proposals presented, and discuss what reform means in practice.

Session at Nuffield Trust Summit, Beaumont House, Windsor, 5 March 2026.
