We don’t just stop at the challenges; we delve into the urgent need for systemic reform to keep our healthcare talent where it belongs.

Ever wondered why the healthcare system feels so imbalanced? We tackle some of the UK's most contentious issues, such as the prioritization of foreign nationals in healthcare and the societal strain from gender reassignment surgeries.
