Health Policy in Britain

This module provides a critical analysis of the development of health policy and the organisation and delivery of health services in Britain since the creation of the NHS in 1948, focussing particularly on more recent developments.It covers not only the content of health policy (what it aims to achieve) but also the process of policy making (how policies are developed, implemented and evaluated). It aims to identify the main social, economic and political influences that have shaped health policy in Britain, explores where decision making power lies and evaluates attempts to improve quality and performance in the NHS.The module also considers the future prospects for the NHS and what health care in Britain might look like in the decades to come.
