James Buchan likens the NHS Long Term Plan to an overly ambitious new year’s resolution

The government would do well to follow the examples of our closest neighbours 

When it comes to staffing, there's a larger, system-wide issue, says James Buchan

England’s failure to increase training of nurses shows the profession has lost out

The student attrition rate is stuck but targets to improve it seem illusory

A better pay rise means Scottish nursing is leaving its English colleagues behind

The more Scotland goes its own way on pay, the more it will have to handle its own processes

The prime minister may laud the benefits of IT, but the NHS has more pressing needs

Timing is all in politics, says James Buchan
