There is a world of difference between the NHS from its beginnings in 1948 and the NHS as it is now.

In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh speaks with Dr Ruth Chambers OBE, co-director of Raparu Consult CIC and a visiting professor at Staffordshire University, for a conversation on her book, “Our NHS for better or worse?”.

Chambers discusses her personal experience as a GP in the NHS, including the discrimination she faced as a woman, and analyses the notion of ‘burden’ in respect of the National Health Service, as well as differences in mental health care now and her proposed ‘Prescription for Change’.
