Dr Geoff Mulgan
Director of the Young Foundation
'Chronic disease and the development of radical new models for health care'
There is widespread acknowledgement that many chronic diseases - from
diabetes to depression - are becoming more prevalent and that the
management of chronic diseases is set to be one of the great challenges of
the next few decades. In addition to new treatments and new methods for
diagnosis and management there will also be a strong premium on social
innovation - the development of new methods for providing mutual support;
for patients to self-manage; and for better prevention and mitigation. The
talk will explore possible new methods for developing more effective models
of healthcare, drawing on previous experiences of social innovation at the
Young Foundation in previous incarnations under Michael Young, as well as
work currently underway.
Geoff Mulgan is director of the Young Foundation, which under Michael Young
launched some 60 organisations (including the Open University and Consumers
Association) as well as pioneering dozens of new approaches in fields
ranging from health to ageing. Geoff was previously head of policy in No 10
and director of the Government's Strategy Unit. Before that he was founder
of the Demos think tank. He is a visiting professor at UCL, LSE and
Melbourne University.
