Holding Their Stories – My Life in Nursing
This is not a history of the NHS or a textbook about healthcare. It is a collection of real stories—sometimes joyful, sometimes heart breaking, often humorous—that reveal the privilege of caring for people at some of the most important moments of their lives.Whether you are a nurse, healthcare professional, former patient or simply enjoy true-life memoirs, these stories will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

Do you regard the NHS as an efficient organisation that provides good value for the huge sums that sustain it? 

How much bang do UK taxpayers get for their NHS buck? 

In the latest podcast this is the topic discussed, as Niall and Roy consider the controversial and challenging topic of NHS productivity, the subject of new report from the Health Foundation’s NHS Productivity Commission.  

Their guest is Anita Charlesworth CBE senior economic advisor  at the Foundation and co-chair of its Commission.

This is a little book. Four chapters. Each takes about ten minutes to read.
Forty minutes from beginning to end… but the ideas have taken lifetimes to learn.

I think these four ideas are the foundation stones of good management and leadership.

Understand them and much else falls into place. Ignore them and no amount of strategy, restructuring, consultancy, technology or management jargon will rescue you.

Management, managing, leadership and followership have always fascinated me. In my columns over the years, I have tried to do the great ideas justice and point the way to a better understanding of why some organisations work well and why others don’t.

The book is available as a soft back book and there is a Kindle version.
