10 years on: An interview with Sir Robert Francis (Nuffield Trust, 2 February 2023)

Summary

It's now a decade since the Francis Report, which outlined the causes of serious failures in care at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. The report and prior media coverage exposed a wide set of issues surrounding the culture and transparency of health care, and these topics remain of major concern today.

In this article for the Nuffield Trust, Shaun Lintern has interviewed Sir Robert Francis KC about the weight of those patient stories and treatment of the NHS's staff, then and now.
