I've written a piece on the relationship between end of life and the future of the NHS. Part of the #NHS2048 reformscotland series on how the NHS can be sustained and improved.

“We must be bold & brave in the face of the health challenges. A focus on increasing prevention continues to gain traction, it is vital we look to shape these opportunities, particularly in reforming & modernising public services.” Paul Johnston

'Too many admissions are the result of health and social care supports in the community being unable to respond to crisis or deterioration. Acute hospital is the default and that is bad for people and bad for public finances'
