British Healthcare System
- At Breaking Point or Already Broken? The National Health Service in the United Kingdom-article
Perspective article by medical professionals on concerns and shortcomings of the NHS.
- British National Health Service Website
The NHS is working hard to improve opportunities for patients to make choices about their care.
- A Comparative Analysis of the US and UK Health Care Systems
For the first time in 20 years of polling by Gallup, less than half of Americans considered the quality of healthcare in the US to be excellent/good in 2021. As for the UK in 2021, the King’s Fund measured the largest decline in the overall satisfaction rate with the National Health Service (the nationwide healthcare system in the UK) since the 90s. Given bed shortages, staff shortages, overwhelmed ER departments, and a general lack of adequate infrastructure afflicted both the US and the UK, an analysis of these healthcare systems during the pandemic would demonstrate what many headlines have already pointed out: neither country was as prepared as it should have been (The Economist, 2023).
