I worked as a medical director in the NHS for 12 years. Dr Stedman’s observations of the NHS are excruciatingly acute and his conclusions sharp, accurate and to the point. As the economist Herbert Stein famously observed: “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”. We all know there is a crisis coming, and that crisis may provide the opportunity to create the change we, as clinicians, need, and as citizens, deserve.
Excellent blog, very professional, lots of useful thinking, good ideas and vision for the future of the NHS.
