Course Overview

Health and social care delivery has always been an area of debate in both the public and political arenas. It was a crucial feature in the main political parties' manifestos in the last UK election due to concerns that health and care systems were being overwhelmed by unprecedented demand (Oliver et al., 2014). With the UK population of over 75’s projected to more than double in size in the next 20 years, and currently over 22% of our population being over 65, demand for health and social care services continues to increase at an unprecedented rate. Additionally, the COVID19 Pandemic has accentuated demands on the sector and exposed very real fragilities that need to be urgently addressed. This course provides the opportunity to consider these issues and critically evaluate how to improve things by doing things differently.
