How Do We Fix The NHS?

The NHS is an amazing Institution that has been with me for more than 60 years, and which I've used many times before. I've also had the pleasure of implementing a 'scan for safety' solution at UHL with a company called Asteral. this gave me an amazing insight into the organisation, and yes, we were successful. However, the NHS suffers from many issues, not least a shortage of staff, waste, and inefficiency. for those of us who can, I think it's vital to get all the ideas on the table, and then implement whatever changes and improvements are needed. Part of this is culture, and the way we work, think, blame, and limit potential. So, with all that said, our NHS will only move forward when we park politics and ideology and put in place sensible solutions that work.

Go behind the slogans of patient care, or whatever else we choose to hang our hat on, we need a service that is efficient, well funded, well-staffed, with proper joined-up systems and processes that extend into the community and across all services. When all this is in place, then we have real success! We also need a proper way to fund all our hospitals. We need to invest.
