Judith M Neaves, a general practitioner and musculoskeletal physician in Kendal, UK, questions the UK government’s plans to introduce a league table of NHS providers with rewards for the leaders. While managers may receive more pay for better performance, Neaves raises concerns about what the staff who actually do the work will receive. She suggests looking at the John Lewis partnership as a model where all staff benefit from the company’s success. Simultaneously, Neaves highlights the importance of considering the welfare and compensation of all healthcare workers who contribute to better performance in the NHS.
