Críticas:
In a post-truth world in which politicians spin and lie and lazy journalists fail to challenge them, to read The State of Medicine is a joy notwithstanding its serious, indeed deeply worrying, messages. An expert case for an evidence- and value-based NHS is made with clarity and passion by someone who is herself delivering medicine in the real world. It should be read by anyone who has an interest in healthcare which is all of us. Please let this book be influential because it could save lives. --Professor Ray Tallis
Reseña del editor:
The NHS is the closest thing the UK has to a national religion. No wonder: it unites people across social and class divides. But it is also under pressure, underfunded, and unravelling at the seams. When the NHS was founded, children died of whooping cough and tuberculosis, and the average person lived less than 50 years. Now childhood deaths are rare and we expect to live almost twice as long. Many of us swallow dozens of daily medications, and the NHS promises to keep treating us, rich or poor, according to need. But as social care budgets are slashed, the pressure on the NHS has reached a critical level - along with accusations of high death rates, lazy, uncaring staff morale, and unnecessary deaths at the weekend. Margaret McCartney, author of The Patient Paradox and Living with Dying, argues that the last few decades of short-term political policies have caused lasting damage to the NHS, wasting money, time, harming patients, and damaging staff morale. Instead, we need a new realisation of the founding principles of the NHS, one where patients and professionals work together to create an evidence based - not a party political - NHS. It is the only future it can survive in.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The National Health Service is 'the closest thing the UK has to a national religion'. No wonder: it has worked secular miracles. Before the NHS, sick children could not see a doctor before a sixpence was handed over. People died of whooping cough and tuberculosis, illnesses we now scarcely see. When the NHS was founded, almost 70 years ago, people in the UK lived less than 50 years on average - a lifespan which has almost doubled. No matter how poor we are, our health care is included with British citizenship. But the NHS has also been accused of high death rates, lazy and uncaring staff, dirty hospitals and unbridgeable funding gaps. Every politician claims to know how to save the NHS. Margaret McCartney argues differently. She believes that the NHS is world class: but politicians have to stop micromanaging based on faith in their own political beliefs and instead base decisions on evidence. Patients and professionals working together to deliver an evidence-based NHS is the only future - if we want our NHS to survive. In The State of Medicine, Margaret McCartney makes the case for an evidence-based healthcare system, cutting direct political control while reducing waste and increasing transparency, professionalism and vocation.
