Currently, far too many people are experiencing illness and disease which could be prevented. Focusing on adequately resourcing and funding #PublicHealth and prevention would reduce pressure on the NHS and allow them to do what they do best 🏥🩺🩹⚕️💊👩‍⚕️

Wow, that'll be the first (and last) time I'll ever follow the PM 😅. Great to speak on the future of work at #kfannual, alongside Oonagh Smyth Prof Shafi Ahmed PhD FRCS Ruth Tennant and Steve Iley. How can we invest in our workforce to lead the NHS through turbulent times ahead?
