ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:
In this conversation with Dr Paul Hobday, things got passionate and occasionally tense. Paul, a retired GP and staunch NHS advocate, believes the answer lies in going back to its roots and halting privatisation. But I challenged that. For me, the real problem runs deeper — centralised medicine captured by Big Pharma, from journals and training to regulators.
We explored how protocol-driven care has turned doctors into box-ticking technicians, stripping away clinical curiosity. I argued the NHS isn’t truly public anymore — it’s a branded front for private contractors and data deals with firms like Palantir. It’s not a safe haven, it’s a controlled market.
I don’t think the fix is nostalgia. We need decentralised systems, community-led care, and the freedom for clinicians to think independently. It wasn’t a cosy chat, but it was a necessary one. And by the end, I think we both saw we had more in common than not.
See my substack for more information.
Much love, as always.
