Leading Medic Calls for End to ‘One Size Fits all Healthcare | UK | News
One of the best doctors of the UK started a fluffy attack on the UK’s “monochrome” health system – asked for a revolution in our way to treat patients.
Speaking at the Beyond Pills International Conference last week, President of the Faculty of Medicine. Michael Dixon announced that the age of the “one body” treatment is over. Instead, he said that “personal medicine” should come – a radical, personalized approach to health that puts patients at the center of their own care.
4. He said to the delegates gathered for the International Personal and Integrative Medicine Conference, “Medicine must be more relevant.” “Otherwise, how will we meet the most urgent difficulties of our time?”
He said that these difficulties include spiral obesity, mental health crises and rising chronic disease rates. “Life expectancy has spread and now falls to be less good,” he said. “Forty percent or obese in London, one of the five people, antidepressant and one quarter of the young girls damage young girls. We are facing a dementia tsunami.”
If we talked at the conference, there was a practical GP, who expressed the concerns of mental patient health about “extreme media ,, and Dr. Simon Opher, the head of the Labor Party Deputy Beyond Hac for Stroud.
Sunday Express, “Antidepressants can help some people – but they are explained too much,” he said. “We put people in heavy drugs for suspicious reasons. GPS is under pressure with only ten -minute consultations that are useless for complex mental health cases. Many doctors feel forced to prescribe, but these drugs may be extremely difficult to withdraw and side effects may include suicide thoughts.”
According to NHS data, more than 8.6 million adults and more than 500,000 children were prescribed an antidepressant prescription last year.
Recipes for under the age of 18 accelerated in the last decade-2015-16 in the last decade.
Last year, 3,920 were given to children under the age of ten.
Devon GP and Dr. Dixon, a long-term advocate of the “social prescription ,, criticized the existing NHS model outdated and ineffective:“ He is very hitting, and he is limited to a symptom or body part. ”
Instead, he claimed that there was a seismic change in personalized care that uses everything from nutrition and dance to community volunteering and kindness. “The time when we reject the operational medicine and embrace something more hopeful – medicine is colorful,” he said. “This includes a walk in the park, a chat with a friend, even closing the mobile phone. Love and relationships are medicine.”
Dr Dixon, who referred to examples from all over England, praised the GPs out of the box – Dr. David Unwin and Dr James Fleming, who helped to get out of medication through diet and lifestyle changes of one -third of diabetic patients.
In addition, more than 2,000 indigenous people, from hairdressers to students, praised the Frome model in Somperset, in which they have become “community connectors için to combat loneliness and bad health.
“The inspiring and strengthening medicine – this personal medicine,” he said. “It gives power to people, not bureaucrats. He respects our personal stories, culture, hopes. And it happens.”
Dr Dixon, known for defending complementary and integrative medicine, previously described NHS’s dependence on pills and procedures as “unsustainable”. He said: “We spray and treat the real problems that affect people’s welfare.”
He urged his doctors, nurses and health leaders to save themselves from the rashes of protocols and care routes from the rats.
“No more mindless automators need to be shaken. Wisdom has been taken. ‘I am not a robot’, allowing them to mark the box, or he says.
He said that the new wave of medicine can help fight not only with bad health, but also labor inactivity and long NHS waiting lists. “It is time to mow the floor and close the taps overflowing the basin,” he said.
The Beyond Conference Conference was held between 19 – 21 June 2025 at the QEII Center Westminster, in which clinicians, researchers and community leaders explored new ways of personalizing health services.
