Summary:

In Under the Skin, Anstey explains why these ten individuals are so important, highlighting how their mammoth contributions still resonate in the post-Covid era. And, ultimately, how these ten forebearers helped to create an institution which defines Britain to this day. This insider's story of the realities of front-line NHS clinical services during ten years of underfunding takes the reader on a fast-moving and emotional journey of discovery, from despondency to hope and towards a better understanding of the NHS, and emphasises the need to nurture and support those who dedicate lives to this great institution.
