Outsider's View of the NHS

BBC World Service - The Documentary, Outsider's View of the NHS

As the NHS reaches its 70th birthday how is it viewed by those who work within it?

As the NHS reaches its 70th birthday we explore how it is viewed by those who work within it but trained in another country.

The National Health Service is the largest and the oldest single payer healthcare system in the world. It is the largest public employer in England and Scotland with around 1.5 million staff and is constantly in the political spotlight. As it reaches its 70th birthday we explore how it is viewed by those who work within it but trained in another country. Doctors, nurses and administrators give the listeners their view of the unique organisation that is the NHS.
