For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
Amidst the gloom at the NHS crisis its easy to forget one factor: sociomedical success
In the last 30 yrs UK health has been transformed.The predictable consequences required long term planning which appears absent
A 𧡠of old slides (2017) but they still make the point

I was once told by a manager .. at one of those feed back meetings between staff and senior management- where they do all the talking - .. βwe donβt want you (lot) to work harder, just smarter β .. I was militant before that meeting..
