Healthcare in the UK [electronic resource] : Understanding Continuity and Change
Greener, Ian.
Bristol : Policy Press,
2009.
This book contends that attempts to reform the NHS can only be understood by reference to both the wider social and political contexts, and to the organisational and ideational legacies present within the NHS itself. It aims to take students beyond a basic understanding of the historical development of health policy in the UK, to one that demonstrates an appreciation of the interactions between health policy, organisation and society.
