Summary

Britain's health service is dying. Gavin Francis shows us why we should fight for it.

Since its birth in 1948, the powers that be have chipped away at the NHS. Now, Britain's best-loved institution is under greater threat than ever, besieged by a deadly combination of underfunding, understaffing and the predatory private sector.

In the wake of the pandemic, we have come to accept a 'new normal' of permanent crisis and years-long waiting lists. But, as Gavin Francis reveals in this short, vital book - it doesn't have to be this way, and until recently, it wasn't.

Drawing on the history of the NHS as well as his own experience as a GP, he introduces us to the inner workings of an institution that has never been perfect but which transformed the lives and health of millions, for free - and which has never been more important. For those who believe in the future of the NHS and its founding principles, this is an essential book from the bestselling author of Recovery and Intensive Care.

An overall interesting read. I highly recommend, and deservedly 5 stars.

Didn’t dislike anything, so I will just type nonsense to meet the required fifteen words here.

Save our NHS!

Loved the passionate and thought provoking book! Helps people realise what discussions are needed. Helps people realise this is not something to be taken lightly. Challenge politicians every step of the way. Their job is to find viable options, not to privatise because...
