Action needs to be taken to map out the fairest way to meet the needs of all NHS stakeholders in the post-pandemic ‘new normal’. In this article, we review the NHS Constitution, looking at it from a relational perspective and suggesting that it offers a useful starting point for such a project, but that new ways of thinking are required to accommodate the significant changes the pandemic has made to the fabric of the NHS. These new ways of thinking should encompass concepts of solidarity, care, and (reciprocal) responsibility, grounded in an acceptance of the importance of relationships in society. To this end, we explore and emphasise the importance of our interconnections as NHS stakeholders and ‘re-view’ the NHS Constitution from a relational perspective, concentrating on the rights and responsibilities it describes for patients and the public as NHS stakeholders. We argue that the NHS Constitution, of which most stakeholders are probably unaware, can be used as a tool to engage us, and to catalyse conversation about how our responsibilities as NHS stakeholders should change in the post-pandemic ‘new normal’.

关系、权利和责任：（重新）审视大流行后“新常态”的 NHS 宪法

需要采取行动制定出最公平的方式来满足所有 NHS 利益相关者在大流行后“新常态”中的需求。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了 NHS 宪法，从关系的角度来看它，并建议它为这样一个项目提供了一个有用的起点，但需要新的思维方式来适应大流行对NHS 的面料。这些新的思维方式应该包含团结、关怀和（互惠）责任的概念，以接受社会关系的重要性为基础。为此，我们探索并强调我们作为 NHS 利益相关者相互联系的重要性，并从关系的角度“重新审视”NHS 宪法，专注于它描述的患者和公众作为 NHS 利益相关者的权利和责任。我们认为，大多数利益相关者可能不知道的 NHS 章程可以用作一种工具来吸引我们，并促进关于我们作为 NHS 利益相关者的责任应如何在大流行后“新常态”中发生变化的对话。
