Health and Social Policy

The aim of this module is to introduce the student to some of the key concepts in health and social care at international, national and local levels. This will enable students to gain insight into the organisations responsible for the introduction and implementation of policy within a health and social care environment, what drives policy development and strategies for policy implementation. The students will have an opportunity to appraise the role of the nursing profession in the influencing and implementation of policy and enable the student to understand how policy translates into practice in a diverse range of health care settings.
