Alzheimer’s Disease: the great leveller

Will Gen Z save the NHS

‘Afterall, absorbing endless work like a sponge and running the NHS on goodwill has not proved to be a successful strategy. In fact, it has allowed us to be manipulated in quite a profound and insidious way’

‘Drexit & Moral Injury

NHS leadership will tell me that this needs a mindset shift, to surrender to the things beyond my control or to sharpen my resilience & optimise my wellbeing. We are effectively being asked to find workarounds so we can get comfortable with providing substandard care’

‘Courage is contagious and we should create a culture within medicine where showing vulnerability is seen for what it truly is-a symbol of strength& reminder that beneath the shackles of titles,accreditations & status, what binds us most strongly is our shared humanity’
