Buy from
In a world where our health is often at the mercy of an overburdened system, Staying Alive brings urgent attention to the growing crisis within the NHS. In the wake of a healthcare system stretched to its breaking point, millions of patients are paying the price for delays in diagnosis and treatment; with thousands of patients dying on waiting lists.
This compelling book exposes the shocking reality behind these delays - showing how patients are left waiting for care, often with devastating consequences. Through real-life stories, expert insights and hard-hitting statistics, it reveals how systemic failures, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, have placed a strain on an already overburdened NHS. But this book isn't just about the problems - it's also about empowerment.
Staying Alive is a wake-up call to anyone who believes that better healthcare is just a matter of time. The time to act is now.

Jimmy Smyth
Jimmy Smyth’s experience of how the health service works is extensive and covers a wide range of the NHS, from face-to-face work with patients and their relatives to management structures. On a few occasions, as a patient, he came close to becoming an avoidable death, as well as witnessing the death of his father from renal failure, as a result of the side effects from years of medication.
