A different approach to the crisis in health care.
When things get really bad at a hospital, sometimes the staff just can’t cope anymore.
Things at Birmingham Children’s Hospital were under such stress by early November 2008, that the hospital’s own paediatric consultants went over the heads of the hospital’s management and called in the Healthcare Commission to draw attention to their own poor health care. Within a week the Prime Minister had got involved, calling for an enquiry.
Clearly, one of the reasons this was so effective was that the medical staff had decided to act together.
