Dr Phil's most up-to-date advice on how to get the most out of the health service for optimum health

"Private Eye" medical correspondent and "Trust Me I'm A Doctor" presenter Phil Hammond gives advice on getting the most out of the health service as a means of being vigilant over your own health, drawing on thirty years of experience with the NHS.

This is a fantastic book about how to live well. Phil Hammond's goes beyond the usual tips about diet and exercise - we hear about the power of positive thinking, as well as how to get the best out of the health service. And this book is packed with real stories - from people who have become survival experts through their own experiences. Their stories are heartwarming, enlightening and useful. Phil Hammond has a knack of being brutally honest and very funny at the same time. This is quite simply the most useful book about health and the health service that I've ever read.
