Carents Welcomes the NHS 10-Year Health Plan: A Vision for Joined-Up, Future-Ready Care

The government has made its direction clear: a shift from hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention.

At Carents, we see this not only as necessary reform but as a long-overdue recognition of the silent, vital workforce at the heart of UK care: carents.

“The NHS plan is a bold reimagining of how care should work and it’s about time. But without recognising and supporting the everyday efforts of carents - those looking after their elderly parents -  this transformation risks missing a critical partner in its success. Carents exists to make sure those carers are seen, supported, and equipped for the road ahead.”

Our Role in This New Era of Care

As the NHS retools and realigns, Carents is ready. Our platform is already providing the tools, guidance, and compassionate support that carents need to manage complex healthcare systems and personal challenges. We believe this plan presents an opportunity to build a more collaborative, integrated future. One that includes carents from the ground up.
