Friedrich A. Hayek explains, in The Use of Knowledge in Society, that useful knowledge “never exists in concentrated or integrated form but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess”.
In that spirit, we believe this blog will offer an important perspective on what is happening within the UK’s National Health Service. This ‘bottom up’ view will naturally be different from those we normally hear from — those at the top of the system. We to expand understanding of what is happening on the ground. This is one real personal perspective at one particular hospital. The views are those of this doctor, and may not reflect those of the ASI’s staff, fellows or directors.
This doctor is writing under the condition of anonymity. We shall call him Dr Smith.
The first three posts are now up on the blog, and previews can be seen below. More posts coming in over the next few days.
