  • The main reason for this is that the practices owned by the large private healthcare companies can afford to recruit the best doctors

    I worked for such an outfit. My take on it was that management was more responsive, focussed and being provided by a bigger organisation possibly had some more clout with things like digitalisation etc.

    I am pretty much unbiased - I'm back in the NHS atm. Personally I was really impressed with private provision of NHS care. I saw monitoring of quality that puts the NHS to shame. There is a bit of knee jerk 'NHS good, private bad' - not my experience.

  • Interesting. What area do you work in (medical/admin/managerial) and what brought you back to the NHS if you don't mind me asking?

    I think the knee jerk you describe could also be that rightly or wrongly you don't hear of many privatisation success stories in the media...
