🚨 A Turning Point for Our NHS: A Call to Innovate and Invest 🚨 Lord Darzi’s latest investigation into the NHS is a wake-up call we can’t ignore. Whilst many will recognise and relate to the issues highlighted, the report lays bare the urgent need for change—from embracing cutting-edge technology to better supporting the incredible NHS staff, who work tirelessly under immense pressure. The future of healthcare isn’t just about treating illness; it’s also about prevention. There is a nod to using AI, digital tools, and smart technology in the report which is encouraging - Imagine a system where long waits and outdated processes are replaced by faster diagnoses, seamless care, and personalised health solutions—this is within reach if invested wisely and the right tools and education are provided. A key part of making this happen? It was good to see the highlighted needs of our Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). These are more than just local committees—they’re the teams who can ensure that everyone, no matter where they live, gets the right care at the right time. But they need clearer direction and the support to thrive. I think its also important on the release of this report to take a moment to recognise the NHS staff and those working more widely in the system, who are the backbone of our healthcare system. They give their all, day in and day out, despite overwhelming challenges. They deserve better, and that starts with real actions—not just promises, investing in their futures, giving them the tools, training, and technology to deliver the world-class care they’re known for. In an interview this morning on BBC, Wes Streeting says there will be three "big shifts": from hospital to community care from analogue to digital from treating sickness to preventing it The NHS belongs to all of us, I hope this report doesn't land on deaf ears and genuine solutions and support can evolve out of this, past the news focus of today. What are your thoughts on the report and actions to happen from here? ➡ Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/et8kSRXC #OurNHS #HealthcareReform #Innovation #InvestInTheFuture GatenbySanderson
Why is it so difficult to get into the NHS? There are people who want to help (I have tried many times), but it seems their recruitment is incredibly fragmented, long winded and unwilling to take on candidates from the private sector. Maybe the reform needs to be in their recruitment first.

1moIt has to be done properly, Community care needs to be 24/7. Management layers need to be reduced and streamlined instead of the top heavy portfolio non-clinical leadership staff. Pay and conditions for staff need to properly reviewed, looking at the ambulance service, I think it is shocking that a degree educated Paramedic can make better money and have a better work/life balance if they become a Tesco delivery driver... GP's need to step up their game and take ownership for their patients. They cant keep offloading to emergency dept and Ambulance staff, and they need to be available for their patients when they need them, not force them down the 08:00 appointment lottery Talk to any staff who work the front line and their list will be the same, if not similar. They will welcome reform if it addresses the problems and isn't just another excuse to pay a consultancy firm, that the MP has shares in, to tell us what we already know.
