Father Christmas visits the NHS
18-Dec-2008
So what's Santa going to be putting in the stockings of the NHS this year? -
Weighing in on hospital scales
11-Dec-2008
Lots to chew on of late. First I read my fellow blogger Inside Out's polemic about the grubby goings on in the world of hospital management. -
NHS jobs and non-jobs
28-Nov-2008
Flicking the comics recently, it looks like we're all in for a good kicking, with the first salvos being fired in the anticipated attack on so-called 'non-jobs' in the public sector. -
In search of an NHS chimera
27-Nov-2008
As we all know, there are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't. -
The end of the NHS
26-Nov-2008
So the Labour Party has finally brought an end to the NHS. Universal healthcare free to all at the point of need and delivery is replaced by a universal healthcare floor over which you can buy anything that we're willing to sell you on an item of service basis depending on your ability to pay. -
HSJ50 got me thinking
25-Nov-2008
I spent an idle 30 seconds last week perusing the HSJ's '50 people with the greatest influence on NHS management policy and practice in 2008'. -
The 7 habits of highly ineffective managers
20-Nov-2008
I've been re-dipping into one my bestest ever pop-management textbooks, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. -
The NHS rhetoric is the reality
13-Nov-2008
Can you get to see your GP within 48 hours? Seems like the apparatchiks at the DOH and the piety at the HCC beg to differ about question itself, let alone the answer. -
Using the health service - best and worst
6-Nov-2008
I've just been ill and used the service. Now that's what I call a roller coaster ride. -
NHS show will go on!
30-Oct-2008
So on the basis of an in-depth sample of both of my readers, the Innate Prejudice bandwagon careers onward and upwards towards its rightful place in the pantheon of non-evidence based commentators on the NHS. -
NHS feeling the pinch
23-Oct-2008
So how blows the breeze at the top of trees? By the sound of it, pretty well. The Darzi road shows are complete and the mood music is rather upbeat. -
Healthcheckitus
16-Oct-2008
It's that time of the year. The words 'draft' are being lifted from Annual Audit Letters that summarise so succinctly the state of your financial health. -
What to say about the NHS?
9-Oct-2008
It is quite clear that the majority of my undoubtedly tiny readership hates what I write. -
Your official NHS synonym study guide
2-Oct-2008
A funny thing (perhaps the only funny thing) happened in one of my recent blogs when the spell-checker changed my description of the DOH communications posse from 'pravdaesque' to 'pradaesque'. -
The trouble with the Welsh NHS
23-Sep-2008
You can't beat the Welsh, can you? Twenty-two Local Health Boards giving money via block contracts to about a dozen hospitals. -
Doctors, lead the way
18-Sep-2008
To hell with multi-disciplinarianism. Let's face it, Doctor knows best. -
Let's get serious about public health
12-Sep-2008
It's time to take a radically different approach to reducing health inequalities. The way that we're going we don't stand a chance. -
NHS enters the reality TV zone
11-Sep-2008
So the NHS is moving into reality TV looky-likeys, with PCTs aping Dragons' Den and The Apprentice in their desperate search for talent and a good idea. -
Only some of the best health in Europe?
10-Sep-2008
Got a letter from Lap Dog Lansley this week, enclosing a policy booklet called Delivering some of the best health in Europe: outcomes not targets. -
What NHS managers really want to read
5-Sep-2008
I don't know which I look forward to the most, The Week or The Month. There's nothing like putting your feet up with a good read about the meandering irrelevancies of the senior leadership. -
Lap dog Lansley does public health
4-Sep-2008
As Diddy Dave Cameron put it so eloquently, if you've got a dog then why learn to bark yourself? Particularly if your dog is Lap Dog Lansley. There's nothing Lap Dog likes more than a good bark. -
New NHS regulators, same old tricks
1-Sep-2008
I've finally worked out what's going down with the regulator.
