As a clinician it saddens me to hear that, although sadly I do understand why. Personally I am ashamed.

The challenge to do this IMO is always money & time. A fortune of public money is spent on denying the truth ('experts', reviews, 'listening events', consultants etc.) & ridiculous schemes like
#FTSU which are designed to keep a lid on things. Whilst those affected are isolated. -
Totally agree. And public money is also spent on a cursory nod to patient involvement, which is supposed to come in the form of organisations like the Patient's Association & Healthwatch. Both of whom refused to help with my concerns. False advertising, imho. Part of the problem.

I've no confidence is either the Patients Association or national Healthwatch. Local Healthwatch's can be helpful but IMO they're 'under the thumb'. In the NHS bodies such as NHS Horizons also act as barriers to transparency & prop up the toxic culture.

Such orgs represent the 'controlled voice of opposition' for me these days. Best way of ensuring you win an argument is to control both sides of the debate. Something both the NHS and gov more generally clearly worked out a long time before I clicked.
