is partly a memoir of my life in the NHS, but also includes many stories from other people I've met. There are some aspects of the NHS from years ago which reflect a different society at the time, and an imperfect health service coming to terms with what had been inherited, but at the same time there were inspiring individuals driving change. The NHS of today is also a mix of positive and negative concepts, and the final chapter is a compilation of 77 ways in which I feel the NHS needs to change if it is to provide the service that the country needs and deserves.
Profits from the sale of the book will be given to our local hospice, the Douglas MacMillan Hospice in North Staffordshire, which receives only a fraction of the income it needs from the NHS, and relies on voluntary support for the excellent work it does despite this lack of funds.
