Most of us take the NHS for granted until the moment we need it most. It employs almost 2 million people and consumes 20 per cent of our taxes, yet it feels like the National Health Service is struggling to keep anyone happy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday, we watch with a mix of bafflement and despair as a system that was once the envy of the world becomes a medical traffic jam of 7.5-million-person waiting lists, disgruntled staff, and ambulance queues stretching into the next postcode. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow did we get here? What is around the corner for our health service? Still more importantly, is there a way back? What would that take? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eSurgery, Not Sticking Plasters\u003c\/b\u003e, Dr Will Andrews - someone who has spent twenty years navigating the NHS and other health systems as a doctor, entrepreneur, and a healthcare expert for the likes of McKinsey and BCG - takes us all on a clear-eyed, and occasionally provocative tour of our national patient, prescribing 20 remedies - or operations - that would restore it to full health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis isn't a dry policy document or a technical guide. Part memoir, part manifesto, it is a lively canter through a constructive cocktail of hard-won clinical wisdom and the kind of operational logic and pragmatism that make world-leading organisations thrive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe patient isn't dead yet - but they are definitely in the ICU. It's time to stop the sticking plasters and start the surgery.
