Britain faces a grave health crisis, exacerbated by the devastating impact of Covid-19. The pandemic has caused widespread death, disruption, and disorder, highlighting fundamental flaws in public policy and our approach to health. For years, these same failures have perpetuated a host of modern plagues, including long-running deadly epidemics in diabetes, depression, and heart disease. These plagues pose systemic risks to society as a whole.

In response to this urgent situation, Yuille and Ollier propose a visionary concept of a "Health Society" in their timely book. The time for hesitation and incremental changes has passed. The prevention of disease should be a shared responsibility across all branches of government, including the NHS, workplaces, employers, communities, and citizens. The "Health Society" entails a radical shift in our approach, aiming to extend our healthy lives and promote sustainable national prosperity.

Saving Sick Britain meticulously follows the latest scientific evidence and presents a compelling challenge to us all. Are we willing to embrace the necessary changes to end these modern plagues? The book serves as a guide, helping readers reimagine what prevention and "health" mean in contemporary Britain. This book aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, which aims to achieve good health and well-being for all.

By embracing the principles outlined in Saving Sick Britain, we can strive towards a healthier, more prosperous, and resilient society. It is time to take action and make the necessary sacrifices to build a healthier future for ourselves and future generations.
