Doing right by patients is as important to today’s healthcare professionals as it was to those who founded the NHS. But with an ageing population, more people suffering with multiple morbidities, post-pandemic elective waiting lists remaining high, and the numbers visiting A&E departments soaring, what role can modern Identity management play in delivering the all-important patient-centricity that results in better outcomes? It’s about dosing up on collaboration and efficiency. You see, the UK has fewer doctors per 1,000 citizens than the OECD average for Europe, yet staff vacancies remain persistently unfilled after our withdrawal from the EU. The result is a woefully under-resourced NHS. But if we can allow the clinicians who are in post to collaborate and deliver medical interventions more efficiently and effectively, the NHS will be one step closer to achieving its passionate commitment to putting patients’ needs first. England needs nearly 50,000 additional FTE doctors.
