David McGavin: Can I contribute anything for the future of our ailing health service?
It does not take much imagination by those of us working near or in the NHS to have a good guess as to what the NHS will need and allow in the next decade. And whom we will need to train up and what we need to address within and outside our declining movement, to ensure a revival then. Mainstream medicine will need anthroposophical medicine badly by then, but we will have much to change of ourselves if we are to be in evidence and an obvious choice.
Dr David McGavin is a long-standing GP with an interest in pain management and rehabilitation running an NHS clinic in SE London with three anthroposophic therapists.
