Heard But Not Heeded: Cancer Patient Advocacy, NICE, and the Limits of Power
In the complex world of UK health policy, cancer patients and their advocates often speak up but are their voices truly heard? Heard But Not Heeded examines the realities of cancer patient advocacy within the NHS and the powerful role of NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). Drawing on the experiences of patients, campaigners, and policy processes, this book explores how patient voices are invited into decision-making around new treatments and care standards; yet frequently fail to shift outcomes when evidence, economics, and institutional power collide. It investigates the structural limits of advocacy: the tension between individual patient stories and population-level cost-effectiveness judgements; the challenges of influencing technology appraisals; and the gap between being consulted and being heeded. Along the way, it sheds light on the broader dynamics of power, legitimacy, and representation in modern healthcare systems. Essential reading for patient advocates, clinicians, policymakers, health researchers, and anyone interested in how the NHS balances innovation, equity, and limited resources. This book offers a clear-eyed analysis of why being heard is not always enough and what that means for the future of patient-centred care.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
