How does the NHS in England work and how is it changing? 

I love the way you have broken it down. Good job.

this is really helpful thank you

@Andrew Schneiderinstead he thought it would be better to steal doctors and nurses from other poor countries and stuff those countries whose country these new doctors and nurses are coming from, they will have to train more doctors and nurses to make up this shortfall, won't they?

@Andrew Schneider sounds like a badly run country. Not preparing for the future in terms of transport infrastructure, medical care, education needs, social care, building houses, not training up doctors, nurses, teachers etc. Recipe for disaster. How will people cope when they can't see a doctor in time? Send them to a chemist? Where I currently reside, chemists are NOT medically trained, I suppose they are medically trained up to the same level as a doctor in the UK so people can see them instead? Doesn't sound logical to me.

@Andrew SchneiderI'm very sad to hear this. When I lived there, the so called Green Lobby didn't want ANY new railways being built, no nothing. Some suggested using bikes to go to work!! I used to work miles away, silly people , clueless. I understand that they used to take regular foreign holidays themselves AND use cars, airports and planes !! Not ONE member from the so called Green Lobby ever talked about getting people out of their cars and into trains. That would mean building new train lines etc and would cost a fortune AND they can't pay for it.

@Andrew Schneider is it true that your country is about to recruit more doctors and nurses from other third world countries? Irresponsible behaviour I call it. What are these countries that lose their taxpayer trained doctors to do ???

@Andrew Schneider the tories have been in charge for 12 years now. Surely they could’ve changed something?

fully agree we need to stop them

It's changing to quantum healing whi h has nothing to do with the murdering swines of the NHS.

r you for real bet you get private health care

Circle

lol tort at best

I really don't see how privatization in-and-of-itself is a threat to the NHS though. Have you ever seen how healthcare works in countries like France, Germany, Netherlands or even Japan? These countries follow a more Bismarckian healthcare system than a top-down government-run model like our NHS. In essence, it follows a hybrid model where every resident is obliged to be covered under a statutory health insurance which is funded through taxes and social security contributions and this could be topped-up with private insurance. These come from a selection of not-for-profit private health insurance companies where people can choose their healthcare plan according to their needs. In France, the government reimburses 70% of your healthcare costs. This percentage is even higher depending your employment status, financial situation or the severity of the illness where it can be as high as 100%. For people who are more financially affluent, they can choose to increase this reimbursement to 100% through their private health insurance known as "mutuelles". The hybrid system has time-and-time again proved to outperform our socialised model in terms of the quality of care, waiting lists and adoption of technology. Our NHS is too inefficient due to high bureaucracy and governments not wanting to take risks (i.e. innovate) with public money due to high political costs of failed innovation. The fact that our healthcare is free regardless of the person's economic background and the nature of the appointments is exacerbating our waiting list crisis.

But the UK is not attempting to follow the European models.

Doctors should NOT be allowed to administer or prescribe any substance which is NOT normally potable.

It would be good if the vital role of charity and not for profit organisations as well as unpaid Carers could be touched upon.

Could you tell me some ways private healthcare will play a role please?

Adopt the French, Swiss or Japanese system. But that requires us British citizens to stop treating the NHS as a religion though. Public health insurance + private top up cover leads to better waiting times, quicker adoption of innovation, less administration costs and better patient satisfaction.

How many beds per a thousand person if I may ask?

@@thefuturebeganyesterday2843 Looks like you need to get yourself an education first, sorry I can't help you otherwise

@@prp3231 what a mischievous response. You made a reckless statement about BPT ratio say UK is the second lowest in UK. I ask you a question to be sure you have not looked in the wrong or old place for information. Why are you scared of telling me the figure? Perhaps you know I will expose your lies. Only liars &? mischievous people are weary of divulging information that would expose them. Tell the BPT ratio of UK, the year & most importantly your source. Let's see if your verdict about UK being the second lowest is accurate and most importantly up to date. You can't fool everyone. You expect me to follow your words hook, line and sinker without figures or reference? Common, you'd be kicked out if you try this as a researcher.

Unfortunately, the UK has a huge shortage of doctors per head of population compared to the rest of Europe. Recruiting doctors from other third world countries is ongoing but then what are these countries supposed to do without their own doctors? The UK needs to do much , much better!!

Grim news. 87 year old man with cancer waited 14 hours for an ambulance. Going from bad to disastrous.

I don't think this is modelled on the American system. You know private hospitals and doctors are very prevalent in welfare economies like France or Germany right?

@@inbb510 I am sure it is, although I can not remember where I watched the video. But to be clear it is one of many systems there is no one system in the US

Well said

What health service? Could have fooled me.

it's because we are stupid and the tories don't want the NHS so they have run it into the ground. If we let them do this more fool all if us. Guess what the Canadian teachers union run our lottery if we had let the state run it it would have paid for our NHS over and over again but the tories stopped it sold us all down the river

Not sure where you heard that hospitals are full of sick immigrants because that's not true. Foreign nationals who go to work in the UK on a visa not only pay £1000s in visa fees, they also pay around £600 per year to access the NHS. If anything, the NHS functions because of the many foreign national healthcare professionals working in the UK. Refugees are a different story, but that's not unique to the UK.

First of all when you go on a tourist visa it is compulsory to pay for a medical insurance.

BEEN privatised!

It’s not a proactive organization; it only reacts!

I agree. Healthcare staff should all simultaneously should walk away and realise their worth and stop sacrificing themselves to the meatgrinder that is the nhs. The nhs would cease to exist and healthcare would go private. healthcare professionals could start getting paid what they're actually worth, working conditions would be 100x better and so would the quality of care for patients.... as long as you can afford it or your esurance can cover it. Goodbye free healthcare.

You're also dyslexic af, at least turn auto-correct on

Run my back
