Can software save British healthcare? Dev Series Intro

Returning to the UK after six years in South Korea, and facing the challenges of the NHS, inspires me to tackle this complex issue using my software development skills. My family's move back home next year, coupled with the stark difference between South Korea's world-class healthcare system (ranked #2 globally) and the UK's (ranked #36), fuels my ambition.

The BBC headline highlighting NHS struggles is concerning, especially as a father of a two-year-old. However, my time in South Korea has shown me the potential for positive change through problem-solving.

My approach mirrors the success of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney with Wrexham AFC. While the scales are vastly different, the core principle remains: a clear, measurable goal.

Their journey, from a low-ranking football team to a global success story, demonstrates the power of a focused business question: "How can we make this team one of the best in the world?" This created a target, driving ambitious exploration.

Similarly, my project's core business question will be: "How can we elevate Britain's healthcare system into the top ten globally?" This goal will guide my development work, which I will conduct publicly, sharing my progress and learnings.

As a backend (C# / Visual Basic) and frontend (Javascript) developer with experience in Java and Python, I'll focus on ASP.Net / Windows-based solutions. My Computer Science studies will broaden my approach. I believe positive action, combined with research and an open mind, can solve even the most challenging societal problems.

My first project, a healthcare system comparison API, will be showcased next. Join me on this journey!
