UK Healthcare Is in Crisis

What a book! I couldn’t put it down. Not sure where to begin!!! It’s an extremely difficult read for all of us in healthcare leadership. What is frustrating is the number of enquiries, recommendations, organisations formed and yet the NHS has failed to embrace. “Reinventing the same old wheel” This is a must read book for all involved in health and social care. I could not begin to appreciate the horrendous time David and his family went through but can I thank him for shining a light on the poor culture, racism, bullying, double standards, toxicity and inequalities that exist. One of his legacies is the mentoring and support The Royal College of Surgeons of England now give for colleagues needing support. Such a powerful reflection of all the nhs scandals, weaknesses in the judiciary, failure to learn lessons and a most pragmatic chapter for all new doctors on “safe” practice. We must continue to strive for a “just culture” and “equity” for all trying to do their best delivering care within the NHS. Thank you sir!

Written as meticulously as you carried out your surgical procedures. So much effort has gone into fact based research. Written in a style so easy to understand, even for a non medical professional. I hope your wake call gets answered. Good luck with the book.

David's first book: 'Does he save lives?' was a real eye opener. As a 'non reader' I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. If it's anything like his first book, it will be a 'must read' by anyone's standard. David was so badly let down by many of his 'esteemed' colleagues; his books are a real insight into what goes on behind the scenes [ in both the NHS and Private sectors ]. Compulsive reading, especially if you have lost a loved one [before their time] in the 'care' of the NHS. Thank you David, for the guts to stand up and expose the system.
