Rational Medicine delivers value to sustain universal healthcare

What's good for the patient is good for the planet and good for the wallet! We demonstrate that principle in our Home Ventilator recycling pilot. Let's join forces in recycling medical devices.

Well done Evidence-Creating Team. Here is some real-world evidence of how obesity is becoming a major cause of Respiratory Failure, something the Healthcare providers still need to grasp better.

Treating patients as a whole human being, taking into account the interaction between multiple body systems, is the key to good medical practice.

When I finished my surgical training in the NHS (about 15 years ago), I went to the US for a fellowship.

The programme director liked my skills and offered a fast track to move to the US full time.

I was extremely torn, as with the private health insurance system I would make more than three times what I would in the UK.

I however found the way poor people were treated in the US and how they died from lack of basic medical care reprehensible and moved back to the UK.

With my experience now I will earn more than four or five times what I currently do in the NHS.

I however sleep easy every night knowing that all decisions I made during the day were based on what was best for the patient and not how rich the patient is.

The NHS has problems but it is a beautiful system where a homeless person is treated exactly the same as the prime minister.

Farage gets a lot of money from private companies in the US who have been eyeing the billions they can make in the UK for years. I will benefit from it money-wise but I still oppose it as I am not a monster like Farage.

Once again great to see clinical/quality improvement publications done as a vocation the team members' own time (without defrauding the NHS by way of avoidance of patient-facing work) can remain the "most read" week on week!

Absolutely brilliant work by Nick Hopkinson on the political economy of dyspnoea in the UK. A "must read" for rational physicians.

Really uplifting to see the continuing interest in clinical research: the activity also known as evidence-creating medicine. https://t.co/dNLqECvOjO

We espouse a ‘three Ps’ approach: better for the Patient, better for the Planet, and better for the Pocket. That’s the direction we hope the government continues to support.
#NHS77 Happy birthday, NHS.

Good to see that clinical research/observational really life studies can still occasionally be the most sought-after research.

I just donated to @STWUK to support the peace movement.

It's time we stopped the establishment's addiction to war and its squandering of public resources on militarism.
