The RCP’s Future Hospital project is a bold attempt to envisage a new role for the hospital. It is one in which physical and mental barriers dissolve: the walls that trap clinicians inside buildings and within professional silos are eliminated. Care is delivered where patients’ needs can best be met, by medical teams working with professionals from primary and social care. Expertise is available seven days a week, both in hospitals and in the community. In the report’s words: “The overriding objective should be continuity of care for patients, coordinated and delivered by a single consultant-led clinical team.” The hospital ceases to be “somewhere”; it becomes everywhere.
