An A-Z of the NHS, by Katrina Kennedy
Stories, Lessons and Reflections from 40 Years in Healthcare
After forty years in the NHS, physiotherapist and former Chief Allied Health Professional Katrina Kennedy knows healthcare from the inside out: the pressure, the politics, the hierarchies, the heartbreak, and the small moments of purpose that keep people coming back.
Structured as a guide featuring lessons, stories, and hard-won reflections, An A–Z of the NHS moves from student wards and clinical mistakes to leadership roles, workforce reform, research, burnout, kindness, death, resilience, and the often-overlooked value of support staff.
With honesty and compassion, Kennedy offers healthcare workers everywhere a rare view of what it means to survive the system, challenge it, and build a life in healthcare without losing sight of the people at its heart.
