Welcome to the Health Hotel
The Health Hotel is a mini-conference that takes place at the three main annual political party conferences.
Almost every elected party representative - from ministers to council leaders - will attend their Annual Party Conference and it is here where they and thousands of other party members debate and decide the party’s policy agenda. They will be joined by business leaders, think tanks, charities and trade union representatives who hope to add to and influence the debate.

Health Hotel celebrates 60 years of the NHS

On Wednesday 2nd July, The Health Hotel joined the 60th Anniversary Celebrations of the NHS by hosting a summer reception in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House. The evening was filled with cakes, card signing and Pimms!
Hosted by the Rt. Honorable Kevin Barron MP and in collaboration with the Department of Health, the summer reception featured speeches looking back on the last 60 years of the NHS and where it may go in the next 40 years as it approaches its 100th anniversary. Dr. Richard Taylor MP, Andrew Lansley MP, Sandra Gidley MP & Laura Moffatt MP took to the stage to reflect on both the successes & failures of this everchanging institution.
The Health Hotel co-chairs, David Pink from the Long Term Conditions Alliance and Paul Jenkins from Rethink, also gave examples of how the work of individual Health Hotel member organisations have contributed greatly to scientific research, policy and patient care - three key factors that have made the NHS what it is today.
In summary, a great evening was had by all who attended in the midst of a week long celebration for a much criticised but much loved institution. We hope to be able to continue to contribute to its future success.
