In Stitches by Dr Nick Edwards
The Federation is working with Dr Nick Edwards on ways to improve the NHS. Nick Edwards (not his real name) is a passionate believer in the NHS, committed to trying to improve it. The Federation believes in giving NHS staff the chance to talk about the reality of how the NHS works day to day and the public the chance to hear it. In response to the wide interest in In Stitches and the issues it raises we are creating a forum to encourage more staff to come forward. We shall be updating this site very soon with information about the forum, so watch this space!
Click on the In Stitches book cover for more information about the book.
You can order a copy at a discount on the cover price, with profits going towards NHS Support Federation campaigns, by emailing olivia@nhscampaign.org, or from the publisher The Friday Project at http://www.thefridayproject.co.uk/books/view/?id=23.
The Federation has been playing a leading role in the formation of a coalition around the market based reforms in the NHS - Keep Our NHS Public. For a summary of the campaign click on the Keep Our NHS Public logo, or find out more at www.keepournhspublic.com and sign up to the launch statement.
