In Defence of Medicine: How Can We Save the NHS Future? The Truth About England’s Healthcare System (Health Economics Research)

How can we save Medicine and NHS’s future from politicians, bureaucrats, management consultants, health economists, lawyers, the public bodies, the media, and big businesses who are destroying it? Will medical values be preserved and protected? Healthcare in the UK and medical values have been under attack for a long time. Medical and healthcare practitioners are feeling demoralised due to their increasing inability to control the care of their patients. They have lost their autonomy, their status, and feel undervalued. They are being forced to comply with great regulatory pressures from the British government, National Health Service (NHS) General Medical Council (GMC), and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). These institutions, the media, politicians and others are bringing down England’s healthcare system on which the country depends. IN DEFENCE OF MEDICINE offers a revealing analysis of the internal and external factors which are damaging the UK healthcare system and their causes. Dr Eric Lever, candidly and sympathetically, discusses potential solutions so that one of Britain’s most valued professions can still be saved if we stand up against them. Everyone including patients, medical students and practitioners, and healthcare stakeholders will have a greater understanding of the attacks which are being made on medical values and practice. Readers will feel hopeful and positive that new changes can be made, and they will defend Medicine so that the healthcare system in the UK can achieve its full potential.
