520			_aThe future of health care in Britian is a major political issue. However in concentrating on rows about funding, accountability, professional boudnaries or failings in the current system, there is a danger that we will forget that, above all, the NHS stands for equality and humanity. This book explores the problems facing the NHS, asking "what should be done?" and grounding its questions in the real world. Based on the deliberations of a Leeds Castle Foundation medical conference, the book uses five case studies to illustrate important lessons that must be learned if the UK health care system is to improve. It underlines the importance of user participation, communication and team work, and raises questions about current thinking on medical ethics. Above all, it reminds us that humanity must be the cornerstone of health care.
