Dr Julia Grace Patterson is the founder and chief executive of EveryDoctor. The non-profit campaigning organisation was established in 2019 with the belief that doctors have the power to end the NHS crisis, collectively using their voices to highlight matters of national importance and demand an overturn of the broken system they work within. They brought the UK government to court along with Good Law Project, proving the existence of the VIP PPE lane. Through numerous dynamic national campaigns, they have helped to secure important policy changes to safeguard lives and have put the future of the NHS high on the agenda. Julia qualified as a doctor in 2010 but is not working clinically, having devoted herself full-time to advocacy work since 2020. She won a Marie Claire Future Shaper award in 2021 and speaks to hundreds of thousands of people online every day about the NHS and its future. Critical is her first book.
‘Brilliant. Everyone who cares about the NHS should read this brilliant book’ – Peter Stefanovic ‘If you’re a campaigner for the NHS, this new book, Critical, is a must-read. And if you’re not a campaigner for the NHS, this new book, Critical, is a must-read. Be informed; be angry; fight.’ – Dominic Minghella ‘A fantastic read for anyone interested in what’s happening to our NHS’ – Jemma Forte ‘Recommended reading. Angry but not shouty, terrifically researched and written’ – Russ Jones ‘An incredibly important book about the demise of our NHS and what we must do to reverse the damage that’s being done to it. A sobering and important read. I can highly recommend it’ – Kit Yates ‘Exceptional … a must read’ – Grace Blakeley ‘Critical is a superb, concise, yet informative and passionate piece of work. It neatly outlines just why politicians and successive governments have vandalised and decimated our NHS. However, more importantly, it shows the reader that there is another way – and that there is also something still left to fight for.’ Canary ‘Julia Grace Patterson has written a book reminding us just why we need a well-funded, state-run NHS of the sort neither major political party in the UK now supports. She's right.’ Richard Murphy
