{"product_id":"9781526152282","title":"Saving Sick Britain : Why We Need the 'Health Society' by Bill Ollier","description":"Britain is sick and it needs saving. Covid-19 has brought death, disruption and disorder. It has revealed fundamental failures in public policy and our approach to health. For years, the same failures have perpetuated a host of modern plagues - long-running deadly epidemics in diabetes, depression and heart disease. These plagues pose systemic risks to society itself.   In this timely book, Yuille and Ollier envisage a society that always puts the health of citizens first: the `Health Society'. The time for dithering and tinkering has passed. Prevention of disease is a task for all branches of government - not just the NHS but also for every workplace, employer, community and citizen. The `Health Society' means working in radically new ways to extend our healthy lives and sustainably increase national prosperity.   Saving sick Britain follows the science and lays down a challenge to us all: are we ready to make the change required to end these modern plagues? In answering the question the book helps steer the reader towards rethinking what both 'prevention' and `health' mean in modern Britain.   This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good health and well-being. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303097151861,"sku":"9781526152282","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526152282.jpg?v=1762793702","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526152282","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
