It’s Time Patients Knew

Money, Influence and the NHS

Available for over a year

GP and academic, Dr Margaret McCartney continues her story of a 20-year quest to reveal conflicts of interest in medicine. What might be the financial influences that can impact your treatments and how do they affect trust? Margaret tracks progress in 2016, with a new way to find out if your doctor has had payments from industry. And explores some surprising evidence that being more open about commercial relationships might play out differently than expected.
