Synopsis
Dr Adrian Massey has worked at the intersection of medicine and society for decades. He argues compellingly that our hyper-medicalized society has falsely equated sickness with illness, and sickness with unfitness to work--whereas sickness is primarily a social problem requiring social, not medical, solutions.
Sick-Note Britain lays bare Britain's gross error: when doctors cannot 'fix' anxiety or chronic pain, workplace attendance is still treated as a matter for arbitration by our strained primary care service. What is needed is a tailored, employer-employee contractual solution, but obstacles block this approach: excessively complex employment law constraining both sides; an outdated benefits system that overburdens doctors and traumatizes the vulnerable; and a workplace culture that is too inflexible to keep sick employees in work. This is a blistering condemnation of a sham system that works for nobody, and an urgent call to rethink how we manage sickness--for the sake of our economy, our wellbeing, and our health service.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Hardback. Etat : New. The NHS is stretched to its limits. Yet doctors are writing 10 million sick-notes a year for people they cannot 'fix', while patients with treatable diseases queue for appointments. This is Britain's grave error: our hyper-medicalised society has falsely equated illness with unfitness to work-mistaking a social problem for a medical one. Dr Adrian Massey argues compellingly that we should leave doctors out of it and seek tailored, contractual, employer-employee solutions, but obstacles block this path: over-complex employment law; an outdated benefits system overburdening doctors and traumatising the vulnerable; and a workplace culture that is too inflexible to keep sick employees in work.'Sick-Note Britain' is a blistering condemnation of a sham system that works for nobody, and an urgent call to rethink how we manage sickness-for the sake of our economy, our wellbeing, and our health service.
