About this guest -

Dr Paul Hobday is a retired GP who spent over 30 years caring for families in Kent and became a vocal advocate for protecting the NHS from creeping privatisation. Since stepping away from clinical practice, he has dedicated himself to exposing the political and corporate threats facing public healthcare through writing, speaking, and campaigning. His novel The Deceit Syndrome was written to warn the public about what he sees as the deliberate dismantling of the NHS. Passionate, principled and unafraid to challenge the status quo, Paul continues to fight for a truly public health service rooted in the values of fairness and care.

Doctors are now just technicians, not clinicans, turning the cogs of the machine

About this episode -

In this conversation with Dr Paul Hobday, we get into a passionate and at times challenging exchange about the state of healthcare in the UK. Paul, a retired GP and vocal defender of the NHS, believes the solution lies in returning to its founding principles and resisting privatisation. But I pushed back, hard. Because for me, the issue isn't as simple as NHS good, private bad. The real cancer sits deeper: the centralised capture of medicine by Big Pharma, from the journals to the curriculum to the regulatory bodies that now control how doctors think and behave.

We talked about how protocol-driven care has reduced doctors to technicians and created a system where clinical curiosity and personalised treatment have been replaced by tick-box compliance. I argued that the NHS, far from being truly public, is now a facade, outsourced to private companies, harvesting public data for Big Tech firms like Palantir, and effectively creating a captured market. It's not a sanctuary of care, it's a global testing ground.

I don’t believe the answer lies in restoring some mythical golden age of the NHS. It’s about building decentralised systems, creating genuine competition, empowering community-based hospitals, and freeing clinicians from the institutional straitjackets of the GMC and other corruptible central authorities. This wasn’t a cosy agreement, this was a necessary clash of views, and one that I hope opens the door for serious rethinking about where true healthcare reform must come from.

That said, I think by the end of the conversation, Paul and I agreed that we had more in common than not.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Lots of love

Doc Malik

What I Offer

In a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.

As your health advocate, I can help you:

Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargon
Decide who to see: GP, specialist, osteopath, physio, accupuntcurist, homeopath etc?
Break down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon English
Prepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op ✅ Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complications
Manage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changes
Explore holistic options that complement conventional care
Implement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movement
Ask better questions, and get real answers
Get an unbiased second opinion


Why This Matters

Informed patients make better decisions. But today, so many are left confused, rushed, and disempowered. They leave consultations with more questions than answers, unsure who to trust or where to turn next.

I’m here to change that.

I’m not offering diagnosis or treatment, I’m offering clarity, confidence, and conversation. I’ll walk beside you, explain what’s going on in your body, help you explore your options, and support you in taking back control of your health.


⚠️ A Quick Note

I’m no longer registered with the GMC. This means I don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions. My work is purely educational and advisory, designed to help you get the most out of the formal healthcare system — not replace it.


Ready to Take Control?

If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I’d love to support you.
