This unit provides students with an overview of the multiple layers that make up community-focused and/or based health and social care services. The systems, polices and resources inherent in community-focused and/or based health and social care services are reviewed; and, differing perspectives that can used to understand the challenges and opportunities facing such services are explored. The self-management and project management skills needed to maintain effective community based/focussed teams, partnerships and organisations are also explored. Finally, students will gain an appreciation of health care management, which they will be able to explore further through electives in third year. -- Course Website
