Degrowth scholarship notes that capitalist growth depends on the creation of artificial scarcity. Human needs can typically be satisfied either by means of relatively resource-efficient, non-commodified need satisfiers (for instance, public transit; food from a community kitchen), or by means of relatively scarce and resource-inefficient commodities (a privately owned car; a meal from a home-delivery service). Under capitalism, essential goods (housing, healthcare, transit, nutritious food, etc.) are commodified and access is mediated by prices that are often very high. To obtain the necessary income people are compelled to enter the capitalist labour market, working to produce things that may not be needed simply to access things that clearly are needed. Artificial scarcity of essential goods thus ensures a steady flow of labour for capitalist growth. It also creates growth dependencies: if productivity improvements (or recessions) lead to unemployment, people suffer loss of access to essential goods and growth is needed to create new jobs and resolve the social crisis. This dynamic explains why, despite capitalism's high levels of production and resource use, many basic needs remain unmet even in high-income countries. In this respect, capitalism is deeply inefficient and wasteful.

“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” -  George Santayana,

Wes Streeting has announced a new regime for NHS hospitals, with OFSTED type league tables and the sacking of under performing managers. Hospital trusts can expect to be ranked on a range of indicators such as finances, delivery of services, patient access to care and the competency of leadership. Top performing trusts will be given more money and greater freedom on how that money is spent.

I have no idea how effective these reforms will be but Streeting would be well served to remember the negative impact the introduction of OFSTED league tables had on schools and teaching staff.

For years concerns were voiced regarding the heavy handedness of OFSTED, its crude reporting format and its negative effects on staff moral. The suicide of head teacher Ruth Perry, having had her school downgraded by OFSTED from  “Outstanding" to " Inadequate”, led to an inquiry into the whole OFSTED process. This inquiry described OFSTED as “toxic” and "not fit for purpose". We can only hope Streeting’s new hospital inspectors will not make the same mistakes.

Wes Streeting and his new inspectors would do well to remember   the social context within which individual hospitals operate.

In education it was found that :

“A school in a poor area is five times more likely to be ‘failing’ than affluent areas”  (tes magazine: 16/06/18)

In other words, the more deprived an area, the more likely it is for schools to be judged by OFSTED as “failing” or “inadequate”. It cannot be a coincidence that social class seems to play a major role in the success of a school as measured by the narrow focus of OFSTED.  Will the same bias apply when hospitals are being judged under Wes Streeting’s new NHS inspection regime?

Wes Streeting is a keen advocate of utilizing AI within the NHS.

"AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving efficiency, reducing waiting times, and enhancing patient outcomes. We must embrace this technology to ensure the NHS can meet the demands of the future."  (29/06/23)

Taking Wes Streeting advice I consulted AI when  asking this  question:

“Is there a link between the social class of an area and the success of hospitals serving that area?”

Unsurprisingly, AI found there was indeed a very strong connection  between the two.

“Yes, there is a link between the social class of an area and the success of hospitals serving that area. Research has shown that hospitals in more deprived areas often face greater challenges, which can impact their performance and outcomes. These challenges include higher rates of chronic illnesses, greater healthcare needs, and limited resources. As a result, hospitals in lower socio-economic areas may struggle to achieve the same outcomes as those in more affluent areas.” (Copilot: 13/11/24)

I hope Wes Streeting’s new NHS inspectorate takes this obvious connection into account when compiling their reports but the news headlines today suggest otherwise.  The media talk of "naming and shaming”, sackings and the withholding of money from “failing hospitals". 

Just as has happened in schools, this will lead to a further demoralisation of NHS staff working in socially deprived areas, recruitment and retention problems and a  worsening of NHS hospital services in those areas.

It would seem that despite the findings if the OFSTED Inquiry, as far as Wes Streeting is concerned lessons have NOT been learned.

lorida’s surgeon general has warned healthcare providers against using Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccines due to concerns over genetic contamination.

Joseph Ladapo requested that providers prioritise other non-mRNA vaccines and treatments to ensure patient safety. He also called for the FDA to take greater regulatory responsibility in ensuring the integrity of the human genome.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has echoed concerns over mRNA vaccines and recently stated that Floridians would not be used as “guinea pigs” for unproven booster shots.

In November, Ladapo asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate reports of foreign DNA material in Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines. Ladapo argued that if mRNA vaccines were efficient delivery vehicles for mRNA, they may also be vehicles for delivering contaminant DNA, resulting in a process known as DNA integration. However, on Dec. 14, the FDA Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Peter Marks, wrote to Ladapo stating that animal studies over the past decade and global surveillance data showed no evidence of genotoxicity or genomic disruption.

Despite Ladapo’s concerns, the FDA stated that the practical risk of DNA integration was “quite implausible” and refuted the idea that mRNA vaccines presented a viable risk.

Ladapo contested the FDA’s claims, arguing that they had not performed adequate DNA integration assessments and that genotoxicity studies were an insufficient tool for assessing DNA integration risk. According to Ladapo, “If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.”

The COVID vaccine destroyed my health. Since I had the vaccine I have not felt good two days in a row. It has caused me to have open heart surgery, ruptured my appendix, and left me with Stage Three Kidney disease. I am not the only one. My biggest fear is SDS. It's like my heart has become a living time bomb. Ironically I caught Covid two months AFTER the vaccine so.......so it didn't even work. --KD

The Impact of Gene Therapy on Modern Medicine

Gene therapy is a groundbreaking approach in medical science. It offers hope to many patients suffering from genetic disorders and other diseases. The aim of gene therapy is to provide long-lasting and potentially curative treatments by targeting the root cause of these ailments at the genetic level. This approach highlights a significant transformative impact on modern medicine.

Gene therapy involves introducing, altering, or removing genes within an individual's cells to treat or prevent disease. The two primary types are somatic gene therapy, which targets nonreproductive cells, and germline gene therapy, which affects reproductive cells and can be passed on to future generations. Techniques such as viral vectors, which deliver new genes to cells, and CRISPR-Cas9, a precise gene-editing tool, have revolutionized this field, enabling more accurate and efficient genetic modifications.

The journey of gene therapy began in the early 1970s with foundational research that paved the way for its clinical application. However, it was not until 1990 that a significant milestone was achieved. This was when the first successful gene therapy procedure was performed on a young girl with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). This landmark event demonstrated the potential of gene therapy to cure genetic disorders. Since then, there have been a number of clinical trials conducted, leading to the development of therapies for various other conditions.

Gene therapy has shown huge potential in treating a range of genetic disorders. For instance, in cystic fibrosis, a condition caused by a defective gene, gene therapy aims to introduce a functional copy of the gene into the patient's lungs. Similarly, in muscular dystrophy, gene therapy seeks to restore the missing or defective dystrophin protein in muscle cells.

Cancer treatment has also seen remarkable advances through gene therapy. Techniques like CAR-T cell therapy, which modifies a patient's T cells to target cancer cells, have shown major success in treating certain types of leukemia and lymphoma. There is also ongoing research exploring gene therapy applications in neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease and cardiovascular diseases, expanding its potential reach.

One of the most important advantages of gene therapy is its likelihood to provide targeted and precision medicine. By addressing the underlying genetic cause, gene therapy can offer more effective and personalized treatments compared to traditional methods. This precision lessens the risk of side effects and enhances treatment outcomes.

Additionally, gene therapy holds the promise of curing previously untreatable conditions. For many genetic disorders, traditional treatments only manage symptoms without addressing the root cause. Gene therapy, on the other hand, offers the potential for a permanent cure, improving patients' quality of life and reducing long-term healthcare costs.

Some areas need improvement, and most gene therapies are still in clinical trials. This means that there are technical and scientific challenges that researchers are continually working to overcome. This includes effectively delivering therapeutic genes to the right cells, avoiding immune system reactions, and ensuring the long-term stability of the introduced genes.

Ethical concerns also arise, particularly with germline gene therapy, which can alter the genetic makeup of future generations. The implications of such modifications raise questions about consent, the potential for genetic enhancement, and the possibility of creating societal inequalities. Ensuring equitable access to these advanced therapies and navigating the regulatory landscape for approval and safety are crucial considerations for the future of gene therapy.

Regardless, the future of gene therapy is promising, with ongoing research and development opening new avenues for treatment. Advances in delivery methods, such as nanoparticles and improved viral vectors, aim to enhance the precision and efficiency of gene therapy. Researchers are also exploring the possibility of gene therapy to treat more complex conditions.

As technology evolves, gene therapy is expected to play an increasingly significant role in health care. There are expectations of having personalized medicine, where treatment is tailored to an individual's genetic makeup, offering hope for more effective interventions.

Customer Journey Maps to Revolutionize Women's Health Experience

In the world of fertility treatments, the journey from longing to parenthood has often been isolating, full of hurdles, and draining emotionally and logistically. However, my time as Chief of Staff at Apricity, a revolutionary fertility clinic in Europe, allowed me to understand a paradigm shift that not only challenged but also changed the status quo of fertility care. Adam Richardson's insightful article on customer journey maps reminded me of Apricity's uniqueness and strategy in reimagining the patient journey in fertility treatment.

A Patient-Centric Revolution

40 years after IVF's inception, fertility treatments still feel like navigating through an intricate maze, with countless appointments and overwhelming uncertainty. Drawing from Richardson's emphasis on understanding the customer journey to enhance experience, Apricity dissected the traditional fertility treatment process from a patient's perspective. What emerged was a clear vision to reduce the physical and emotional toll on our patients by increasing the level of care given to patients.

Apricity's innovation

Imagine a world where the fertility journey is no longer marked by 10-12 clinic visits in three weeks but is simplified to just two essential appointments. This vision became Apricity's mission, made possible by harnessing technology to bridge the gap between patients and their care teams. Through a dedicated app, patients now have 24/7 access to nurses and doctors, demystifying the fertility process with reassuring content and personalized support. This not only alleviates the logistical strain but also nurtures a sense of empowerment among those they serve.

Beyond the Map

Mapping the customer journey, as Richardson advocates, allowed Apricity to identify and understand the patients' pain points within fertility care. The transformation goes beyond mere convenience; it's about crafting a narrative of care that’s both compassionate and efficient. As I reflect on our journey at Apricity, I am reminded of the power of empathy-driven innovation. By placing the patient experience at the heart of what we do, we've not only revolutionized the pathway to fertility treatment but also redefined what it means to support individuals in their most personal quests.

This evolution in fertility care serves as a beacon for healthcare providers across the spectrum. It's a testament to the fact that understanding and redesigning the customer journey can lead to profound improvements in care delivery and patient satisfaction.

I would love to reflect with my peers and colleagues on how we can further harness the principles of customer journey mapping to innovate and empathize across all facets of healthcare.
