Healthcare is of central concern to everyone. We never know when we may fall ill and what may become of us. If we do fall ill we wish to be sure that anything that could possibly help will be available. I am committed to the improvement of healthcare as one of the highest measures of a civilised society. The blog is called The Signal because that is what it will contain. In any system of communication there is a signal and there is noise. Most communications are noise - apparently random messages that contribute nothing to the task in hand. Technically folk say that the signal-to-noise ratio is low. Here there will hopefully be no noise (though there will doubtless be some in the comments below). Each post will be a significant contribution to the task of reviving healthcare and fitting it to meet our future needs.
Today's message is this - effective healthcare is essential and the quality of healthcare is a measure of a society's well-being.
Lets improve it!
