Abstract
A decade ago, The Future Hospital Programme was created following the publication of the Future Hospital Commission (FHC), to demonstrate how Future Hospital (FH) principles could be implemented and embedded within the NHS. Ten years on, we reflect back on each of the development sites and the programme itself. What were the successes and what are the current challenges? Indeed, in the current NHS, is it feasible to deliver in 'real world environments' the FH principles and make sure that patient care is safe and effective? The last decade has seen financial constraints and inevitable (albeit often short-term) changes to manage the COVID pandemic. How have these affected each of the development sites and what else do we need to do to ensure that we get care right for our patients within our future hospitals?
