Roy Lilley has been in and around the NHS since 1974. He is an independent health policy analyst, writer, broadcaster and commentator on the National Health Service and social issues. 

An excoriating critic of the NHS and its institutions but with his last breath, a fan of the patient facing front-line of healthcare and the anonymous people who manage the services. 

He has been a policy advisor, a visiting fellow at Imperial College London, helped start the Health services Management school at Nottingham University and was a founder of the Federation of NHS Trusts… that became the Confed. And is the author of over twenty books on health and health service management. Roy is the Founder of the Academy of Fabulous NHS Stuff, and runs the nhsManagers.network. 

Roy talks candidly to Trevor Dale on Atrainability Radio about trying to change attitudes to human error and fallibility across healthcare.
