Description
PUBLISHED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NUFFIELD TRUST
This book helps policy makers and stakeholders plan the future of healthcare in the United Kingdom by summarising the context within which health policy is developed, identifying the key current issues and pointing out the various factors that feed into decision making. It is divided into three main parts to provide a rationally developed, user-friendly report. It considers trends in the wider societal environment including ethical and legal contexts, and also offers recommendations and general conclusions for the future.
Policy Futures for UK Health provides vital insights for healthcare policy makers and shapers, healthcare managers and stakeholders including patient groups and charity organisations.
