Perils of Industrialised Healthcare

- Exploring the limitations of the King's Fund report: Reforming the NHS from Within

Bag om Perils of Industrialised Healthcare

The King's Fund's report Reforming the NHS from Within questions the wisdom of decades of structural reform within the NHS. The report's author, Professor Chris Ham, argues that a confused cocktail of markets, regulations and targets has detracted from more positive possibilities. He offers a more human account of the kinds of changes that would help strengthen the NHS. But does the King's Fund's critique go far enough? David Zigmond argues that there are even graver issues to consider. The National Health Service, at its best is about supporting and sustaining thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable relationships between professionals and citizens. But too many managerial initiatives undermine agency and harm relationships. Treating staff like robots, or patients like items on a conveyor belt, is dehumanising and dangerous. Much more attention needs to be given to the factors that strengthen our relationships: Doing things at a human scale - not progressively more giant Working with trust and flexibility - not meaningless regulations Providing security and freedom - not financial penalties and incentives Zigmond's work explores the limits of industrialised healthcare and calls for fresh thinking about how to restore and protect the human dimension of the NHS.

But does the King's Fund's critique go far enough?
David Zigmond argues that there are even graver issues to consider. The National Health Service, at its best is about supporting and sustaining thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable relationships between professionals and citizens. But too many managerial initiatives undermine agency and harm relationships. Treating staff like robots, or patients like items on a conveyor belt, is dehumanising and dangerous.
Much more attention needs to be given to the factors that strengthen our relationships:
Doing things at a human scale - not progressively more giant
Working with trust and flexibility - not meaningless regulations
Providing security and freedom - not financial penalties and incentives
Zigmond's work explores the limits of industrialised healthcare and calls for fresh thinking about how to restore and protect the human dimension of the NHS.
