🧠💊 Smart Meds Sunday: Why Firefighting Fails in Healthcare—and in Property Why do we always wait for a system to collapse before we fix it? As both a clinical pharmacist and a property developer, I’ve seen the cost of delay and inaction—whether it’s in treatment plans or building sites. 🔎 A landmark study from the British Medical Journal (BMJ, 2020) concluded that: “Reactive care models result in 20–30% higher costs compared to proactive, preventative approaches.” (Ref: BMJ 2020;368:m149) 🏥 The King’s Fund also noted: “Delayed treatment and lack of early intervention lead to a compounding effect on hospital admissions, workforce burnout, and system-wide inefficiencies.” (Source: The King’s Fund, 2018) 🏚️ Similarly, in construction and property: “Deferred maintenance increases long-term costs by 400–600% over timely preventative action.” (Source: US Federal Facilities Council, 2001) 🔥 Firefighting drains resources. 🧠 Prevention protects both lives and livelihoods. In healthcare, I've led & worked with initiatives that saved millions by shifting from a reactive mindset to a strategic, data-driven, and prevention-first model—and now, I apply the same investment logic in property development. Whether it's prescribing the right cost effective treatment unique for the patient, or choosing the right strategies, team, plans & materials before build starts—doing it right early saves more than fixing it late. 💡 Stop waiting for the next crisis. 📉 Start building systems that prevent them. 📩 DM to join our investor waiting list or collaborate on health and housing projects that create impact. 📲 Follow for weekly insights into smarter decision-making in both property and healthcare. #SmartMedsSunday #PreventativeCare #NHSInnovation #BMJ #KingsFund #PropertyInvestment #DeferredMaintenance #InvestToSave #ClinicalPharmacist #FinancialLiteracy #WealthAndWellness #SustainableDevelopment #HealthEconomics #LegacyBuilding #ImpactInvesting #PropertyDevelopersUK #PublicHealthLeadership #FirefightingCostsMore
