Description

The true eyeopening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it

The NHS is an institution But its also a political football kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years Its a burden to some and a potent votewinner for others Its a construct framed in the media Its a set of ideas and a logo Its a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us Its become a valued part of our society it is extraordinarily special and its being destroyed

The NHS is at crisis point In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders The result an underfunded understaffed exhausted workforce a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon the NHS is collapsing and a twotier healthcare system is emerging in its place We can stop this but only if we do it together
In her first book Dr Julia Grace Patterson founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart Critical is a mustread for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years
