Dr Jacky Davis has been a consultant radiologist at Whittington Hospital London since 1981 with special interests in paediatrics, ultrasound and breast imaging.
She is a member of the British Medical Association council, co-chair of the NHS Consultants Association, co-founder of Keep Our NHS Public and an executive member of the National Health Action party.
She was called as a witness by the House of Commons Health Committee enquiry into Top–up fees in the NHS in January 2009.
She was very active in the campaign against the Health and Social Care Act 2012. In particular she was vocal in the campaign against the BBC for failing, she claimed, to give sufficient exposure to the threat to the NHS.
The book she edited, “NHS SOS†is described as "not for the faint-hearted. Whilst it does not describe the events directly leading up to the Health and Social Care Bill (2011) ultimately obtaining Royal Assent in a sensationalist way, the description is terrifying. The reader is carefully led through the evidence of what actually happened; how the introduction of a full-blown market into the National Health Service was carefully planned if somewhat haphazardly implemented".
In March 2013 she appeared and spoke at the rally against the sale of part of Whittington Hospital. She also spoke at a public meeting about the future of the hospital in September 2013.Continue Reading »
