The NHS Future Forum is to conduct a second stage of its listening exercise following a request by the government to assess its revised proposals.
It will focus on how to use information to improve public health, education and training for healthcare workers, integrating care and the public's health.
The announcement has been applauded by The King's Fund, which said it would provide an opportunity to further examine some of the government's proposals.
The initial report was published in June after a two month long consultation period which then saw the coalition revise its previous plans for the NHS.
Government said it has "asked the NHS Future Forum to continue a new phase of conversations with patients, service users and professionals following its listening exercise on the proposals to modernise the NHS".
Professor Steve Field, chair of the independent NHS Future Forum, will again lead the investigation.
He said: "If we want the health and care system to change and meet the challenges of the future, then it is essential that we make sure that the thoughts and concerns of clinicians and, importantly, patients and service users, are listened to.
"With a broader membership across health and social care and a defined focus, I believe the NHS Future Forum will stimulate important debate on issues that really matter to people."
Andrew Lansley MP, Health Secretary added: "The work of the NHS Future Forum has been invaluable in helping shape our plans for improving the health service.
"It gave us the opportunity to address head on the concerns people had - helping to make the NHS more modern, dynamic and innovative. Following its report, I accepted all the core recommendations on issues like competition and local commissioning.
"I'm delighted that the NHS Future Forum will continue its excellent work with patients, service users and professionals, looking at important issues such as education and training, and ensuring we work towards an improved healthcare system."Dr Anna Dixon, director of Policy at The King's Fund, said: "We welcome the announcement that the Future Forum will continue to lead a process of engagement on these areas of policy.
"It was clear that further thinking and consultation were needed on a number of areas of the government reforms including workforce and education reforms and the implications of the changes to public health for the NHS.
"We are also encouraged that having given greater priority to integration in the Health and Social Care Bill following the listening exercise, the government have asked the Future Forum to do further work in this area.
"The King's Fund will be working with the Nuffield Trust to develop a strategy to promote integrated care and to find ways to make integrated care a reality across England," she added.
The NHS Future Forum will report back to Ministers later this year.
The full extent of the four themes to be examined are:
• information: how to make information improve health, care and wellbeing
• education and training: how to develop the healthcare workforce to deliver world-class healthcare
• integrated care: how to ensure the Government's modernisation programme leads to better integration of services around people's needs
• the public's health: how to ensure the public's health remains at the heart of the NHS.
