Overview

What if reading this book could save a life? Growing up on the Arabian Peninsula left a deep impression on Richard, as did reading the accounts of early British explorers in Arabia. But when his mother was missed by an NHS cancer screening programme - and he discovered countless others had been too - he could not stand idly by. Driven by duty, he set out to change the system. Ultimately feeling powerless to influence the NHS, he sought absolution for that failure by walking alone into the Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter; the world's largest sand desert. His journey became one of survival, reflection and ultimately another powerless struggle against the authorities, mirroring his experiences with the NHS. Desert, Spies and NHS Lies is more than an adventure story. It is a powerful call to action, urging us to do right by people screened for cancer, to ensure no one is overlooked through preventable administrative incompetence again. If you care about justice, resilience and the human cost of NHS failings, this book is a must-read. --- Tentatively, I think we did it?! The government have announced they're to implement the screening invitation process digitally. Hopefully the implementation allows patients to understand whether they're overdue for screening. https: //www.gov.uk/government/news/patients-to-receive-reminders-and-test-results-via-the-nhs-app
