{"product_id":"sick-note-britain-how-social-problems-became-m","title":"Sick-Note Britain\t\t\t\t\tHow Social Problems Became M","description":"The NHS is stretched to its limits. Yet doctors are writing 10 million sick-notes a year for people they cannot 'fix', while patients with treatable diseases queue for appointments. This is Britain's grave error: our hyper-medicalised society has falsely equated illness with unfitness to work-mistaking a social problem for a medical one.   Dr Adrian Massey argues compellingly that we should leave doctors out of it and seek tailored, contractual, employer-employee solutions, but obstacles block this path: over-complex employment law; an outdated benefits system overburdening doctors and traumatising the vulnerable; and a workplace culture that is too inflexible to keep sick employees in work.  'Sick-Note Britain' is a blistering condemnation of a sham system that works for nobody, and an urgent call to rethink how we manage sickness-for the sake of our economy, our wellbeing, and our health service.","brand":"Adrian Massey","offers":[{"title":"C Hurst \u0026 Co Publishers Ltd \/ 04 Feb 2019 \/ 344A","offer_id":53827225354581,"sku":"9781787381223","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9781787381223.webp?v=1777975806","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/sick-note-britain-how-social-problems-became-m","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
