Synopsis

Our NHS is CRASHING. It’s a bold statement that some might claim is alarmist or even sensationalist. I am prone to neither. In fact, quite the opposite. I am secure in my conclusion though, based on a systematic evaluation of an huge range of factors, indicators and behaviours. However, what I believe is far less important to you than what you believe because your decisions, actions and indeed health, wealth & security are influenced by that. But, let me ask you a very important question about your conclusion, before you discount mine: To what degree is your reaction or conclusion based on a detached, objective analysis of the data, behaviours and myriad of factors at play, engaged in without emotional bias, reflected on, tested and supported by evidence? This frank portrayal of the underlying NHS reality and its direction of travel is vital reading for anyone concerned about what is unfolding around them. You need to understand. Inside, you’ll find a logical conceptual framework populated with pertinent data from reliable sources to allow you to draw a meaningful conclusion of your own. And if you agree, you’ll find pragmatic guidance for both individuals and organisations, devoid of the typical ideological positioning. Rational & alarming but definitely not alarmist.

About this title

About the Author

I am genuinely passionate about really making healthcare work. Increasingly it isn’t but absolutely it must. I have spent the last 15 years passionately devoted to that purpose. I bring to the table a long and deep understanding of our emerging healthcare system, including the complexity of issues it faces, how this is likely to change over time and what it means for individuals, services and Trusts. However, it is my behavioural expertise that most pertinent, when understanding why we have the issues we have and why we don’t seem to be able to get out of them. My provocative and challenging stance comes from the firm belief that we approach leadership almost entirely at odds with the evidence base and behaviour, yet everything we need to know to literally transform the stability of our system is known but not applied. We can and must do better. I have an MBA with Distinction from Manchester Business School and I am an Oxford University Press author, besides a self-published one too. I have 15 years’ experience specifically working with individuals, services & Trusts in improving leadership, adaptability and collaboration effectiveness, following a more operational career all the way up to director level, budgetary responsibility to £100m+ and international experience of many other healthcare systems. I would prefer to be judged by substance, not CV, however experienced & knowledgeable I may be.
