Here at EPP we have been working hard on a paper that looks at what's wrong with the Health Care System and also at how we can put this right so that many of the problems patients face can be changed often in very simple cost effective ways. Yesterday I (jules) was proud to receive this report which was Going to be published today but.... due to so much interest from the BMJ and The Lancett this will take place next week to incorporate these incredible agencies. I would like to say a massive thank you to all the participants that have kindly shared they're experiences and also the tutors that have helped me to achieve this as this is a team effort. Also to #gavo #1000lives #bevanhealthcommission #publichealthwales and #swanseaschoolofmedicine
