I spoke at length and extensively with Nigel Farage for 3 weeks while in the jungle. I wanted to make my own mind up about him and his views. Conclusion is simple. He was very good at washing the dishes in the river but when it comes to politics he has no plan and no substance
Really interesting hearing about the different types of primary care provider collaboratives out there, some around for years, some are in early stages but all create opportunities @NHSConfed #PCnetwork
