Genre Science Comment by Alexandra McManus, Director McManus R&D Consulting Thank you for sharing your personal experiences as a patient within the NHS in UK. Many of the issues you raised are relevant to other healthcare systems, including in Australia. I am jsut starting a 5 year project that seeks to improve health outcomes for people with chronic conditions who live in a large regional community (23,000km2). I plan to include some of the issues you raised in the community consultation. I am also in awe of the Think Tank you lead. What a magic opportunity. I look forward to following your next chapter. Good luck in your continued recovery. 2022-08-30T05:53:58Z
