In early 2020 Graham Atkinson was managing a large NHS General Practice in the UK when the COVID pandemic halted everything. With over 30 years of NHS experience as a Clinical Pharmacist and a Board-Level Director in local, regional and national roles, he had the confidence to challenge the mainstream narrative. It was obvious to him that the vast majority of patients were being disadvantaged and many harmed in pursuit of “zero COVID”. It was that experience that pushed Graham to the point where he was no longer willing to participate; he had tried his best to change things from the inside, so he stopped participating and walked away. Graham is now helping to build the new Natural Health System, and is currently writing two books that he hopes will help patients and clinicians transition from the old allopathic system.
