💡 “NCDs are the leading cause of death worldwide, yet remain under-prioritised. Prevention, early detection and care must be embedded in strong primary health systems.”

I am grateful to Primrose Magala for allowing me to celebrate her achievements in this blog @hsj.co.uk. Truly, one of the #ExpertsInOurMidst. An outstanding individual improving life for patients at home here in the UK, & at home, there in Uganda. Thank you Primrose. 🙏 #globalNHS

"The #NHS has always been a global story. It’s time we told it that way - with pride, pragmatism, and a plan rooted in achieving the best outcomes for UK patients." My blog in

Political calls to cut immigration are a red flag for the NHS

The NHS relies on global talent. Restricting migration risks staff shortages, longer waits, and poorer care for patients across the UK, writes Ben Simms
