Description

The NHS has been at the heart of British life for 75 years, yet its future remains uncertain. In "Fighting for Life", Isabel Hardman explores the most critical moments in its history, from its founding in 1948 to the present day. Through gripping stories and insightful analysis, Hardman cuts through the sentimentality and sloganeering surrounding the NHS, revealing a complex institution shaped by politics, medicine, and human experience. With access to those at the forefront of the service - nurses, doctors, patients, and politicians - this book offers a nuanced understanding of our national health service. By examining the twelve battles that have defined the NHS's history, Hardman sheds light on the ongoing struggles for its future, revealing a story that is both deeply personal and profoundly political.
