This module will provide an opportunity for students to critically explore wider, global, perspectives in health and social care. Models of health and social care service provision will be discussed which will include exploration of the UK National Health Service, but will also comprise discussion of other types of service organisation and delivery. There will be a focus on the impact of globalisation on health and social care. It is anticipated that through the exploration of different models of health and social care service delivery, students will be able to think critically about key aspects of their own organisation. To facilitate this, students will require critical thinking skills, therefore critical thinking and critical reflection will be explored as part of the module. A blended approach to learning will be adopted, lectures will be used to introduce key concepts and seminars will provide opportunity for further discussion and exploration. The module will be assessed by a 4,500 word assignment and a 20 minute oral presentation accompanied by a 750 word handout.
