Hunting Evil by Chris Carter
LoveReading View on Hunting Evil Oooh, this an absolute belter of a read, in fact my mind is still bouncing up and down in appreciation. Serial killer Lucien Folter has spent just over three years in solitary confinement plotting his revenge on the person who put him away, Robert Hunter, head of the LAPD’s Ultra Crime Unit. Lucien can easily be described as the most dangerous man you would NEVER wish to meet, and Hunter will need all of his wits about him.
She-Clown, and other stories by Hannah Vincent
LoveReading View on She-Clown, and other stories Quirky, provocative, and fabulous, these short stories highlight everyday normality and yet firmly shake the roots of your thoughts. Hannah Vincent is a novelist and playwright, I first came across her writing in 2014 when I read Alarm Girl, which I can still clearly remember (bearing in mind just how many books I read, it shows you how powerful her writing is).
Health inequalities and the NHS
It’s often repeated that the NHS is a ‘religion’ for the British people. The fundamental belief underpinning it, common to young and old, is in free health care for all. I believe this is because we have a visceral memory of the suffering and cruelty people experienced before the health service was founded. And a memory that, of all the public services we enjoy today, the NHS is ours because we designed it. The impact of the NHS on the nation’s health has been transformational.

The NHS at 70
To mark the BBC's coverage of the NHS's 70th birthday in July 2018, researchers from The King's Fund, the Health Foundation, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Nuffield Trust have joined forces for the first time, using combined expertise to shed light on some of the big questions about the NHS.
Public expectations of the NHS | The King's Fund
The measurement and impact of shifting expectations are very slippery subjects – but we’re unfortunate enough to be living through an extraordinary live experiment in expectations management in the public sector that points to their vital impact. In particular, the consistent and long-term ‘austerity’ messages, telling us we can’t afford the public services we might once have had, do seem to have affected our expectations. You can see that by bringing together just two key pieces of information.
Engaging the public in designing the future for the NHS | The King's Fund
In a guest blog for our public and the NHS project, Michelle Dixon, Director of Communications, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, reflects on how important public engagement will be in designing a workable future for the NHS. BBC2’s Hospital – the 2017 documentary series that featured Imperial College Healthcare’s five hospitals – challenged my thinking about the relationship between the NHS and the public.
The compact between the public and the NHS
Alongside Brexit, the NHS is currently seen as the most important issue facing Britain today. The 70th anniversary of the NHS, to be celebrated on 5 July 2018, is an opportunity to reflect on its enduring popularity and to revisit the implicit ‘compact’ – what people can expect from the service and what their obligations are in return – between the public and the NHS.
What does the public think about the NHS?
Key messages Below is a brief summary of the key messages from this piece. As the NHS approaches its 70th birthday, it is facing significant challenges. Despite this, it continues to enjoy unwavering support among the public which endures across the generations. Seventy-seven per cent of the public believe the NHS should be maintained in its current form. This level of support has remained consistent over almost two decades despite widespread social, economic and political change.
