Description
A number one Sunday Times bestseller, this is an interesting collection of experiences. No entry is ever longer than four or five pages, but each is perfectly formed. They speak of their own experiences of being a patient in the NHS, what it was like having a parent as an NHS worker, the experience of dialling NHS Direct and so much more. It can be read all the way through or dipped into as and when. Always interesting to see what Paul McCartney or David Baddiel or Ian Rankin has to say. There is a story and a teller here for everyone.
Adam Kay, the editor of this collection, is an award-winning comedian and writer who previously worked as a junior doctor. His books include This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor and Twas the Nightshift before Christmas. Goodreads call Dear NHS ‘…deeply moving, hilarious, hopeful and impassioned… Published in 2020 it is a poignant reminder of how selfless and generous those working within the NHS are. This book is a way of saying ‘Thank You’. All profits from this book will go to NHS Charities Together to fund vital research and projects, and The Lullaby Trust which supports parents bereaved of babies and young children.
