Ian Greener

Healthcare in the UK

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book contends that attempts to reform the NHS can only be understood by reference to both the wider social and political context, and to the organisational legacies present within the NHS itself. It aims to give students an understanding that demonstrates an appreciation of the interactions between health policy, organisation and society.
