The NHS is in crisis - it's in record demand, and care services are at breaking point - but what if the solution to rescuing the NHS is in the hands of the patients themselves?

In this refreshingly positive and remarkable book, David Gilbert shares the powerful real-life stories of 'patient leaders' - ordinary people affected by life-changing illnesses, disabilities, or conditions, who have all gone back into the fray to help change the healthcare system in necessary and inspiring ways. Charting their diverse journeys - from managing to live with their condition, and their motivation to change the status quo, right through to their successes in improving approaches to health and social care - these moving and courageous stories aim to motivate others to take back control and showcase the pivotal importance of patients as genuine decision-making leaders.

Filled with hard-won wisdom and everyday heroism, The Patient Revolution challenges current discourse and sets out an empowering vision of how patient leaders can change the future of healthcare.

Industry Reviews

A profoundly important book about a social movement of patients who are also activists and entrepreneurs and who can make a vital contribution to the NHS. Having read the book, I am left wondering: 'Why doesn't the system wholeheartedly embrace patient leadership?'

Perhaps it's all about power. A chief executive recently tweeted- without irony- that a red chair would sit empty during all executive meetings to remind board members of the importance of patient involvement. Please read this book, please reflect on it and please don't leave the red chair empty.
