Dr Phil Hammond

How to survive the NHS and help the NHS survive.

‘Stuff the politicians, only we can save the NHS now’

The NHS is our most treasured institution, gluing us together as a humane society and treating us according to need not ability to pay. It’s also more dangerous to use than bungee jumping.

After seventy years of political deforms and underfunding, the NHS is on its last legs and staff stress levels are off the scale. Either we reclaim and rekindle our health service or we sell it off to Virgin.

In this highly subversive comedy, Dr Phil calls for an end to top down disorganisation of the NHS, and launches his own bidet revolution – from the bottom up.

Learn how not to use the NHS, how to survive when you have to and how to die properly when your time comes. Stuff the politicians. Only we can save the NHS.
