What if there really was a different relationship between the NHS and people in communities?

3 May 2017 - 17:20 by Nigel Rose

I wanted to write something in a different style, with a bit more of a human feel than the example essays that they commissioned "policy" people to write. I wrote it about the area I live in and the GP surgery I go to and it has some people from Chorlton in it (suitably disguised). In the end, I thought the winning essays were pretty good.
