Back in Hong Kong for the first time since the pandemic. 36% of the population is aged 65 and this traditional, hospital centric, health system is creaking because it has failed to innovate as fertility rates fall and ageing rises, causing significant waiting lists and times.

Great to see Sir Mayur Lakhani, Chair @FMLM_UK, at the vibrant #FMLMConf24 in #Manchester. I worked with Mayur as Chair @rcgp in better times when public satisfaction with the NHS was very high. How we yearn for those results today. It has been done before and can be done again.
