The National Health Service is more than just a healthcare provider: it’s an integral part of our society.
A symbol of security, it provides crucial health and care support to millions every day, and I for one cannot imagine a world where I’m unable to access a healthcare professional’s help.
To many therefore, the NHS is our greatest institution. Yet we cannot ignore that it’s in a crisis.
Demand for health and care services is skyrocketing as our population grows, lives longer, and in many cases suffers from multiple conditions, whilst the NHS is struggling to keep up as it grapples with diminishing investment.
Simultaneously, it faces record levels of workforce depletion across an intricate ecosystem of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, healthcare workers, administrators and support staff, all dealing with a range of challenges.
