SWEETSPOT SAFARI #16 /|\ fixing and prevention w/Dr Jon Tuppen

  • Summary

  • In this podcast we explore the concept of either fixing or curing and prevention in the context of health service provision with Dr John Tuppen retired General Practitioner. John was an eminent GP with years of practising experience, allowing him to see the evolution of the UK Health Service. John takes a philosophical position and looks at the future options for the services, given the stresses and strains on the system, given factors such as shortage of resourcing, population growth, increased life expectancy, obesity and nutrition challenges. John takes a non-political holistic view demonstrating the need for a radical shift in thinking to meet the changing needs, requiring top minds and objective thinking and data from all sides of the spectrum proposing a significant change in the model that has a chance of sustainability. John's point is that the data from independent reports show that we need to act now in order to stem the tide, such that our health is not as catastrophic as the potential problems of climate change and economic collapse. Any solution will require levels of political and economic collaboration, not seen before. This is an entertaining and thought provoking discussion, which is why it is one of our longest to date.
