Health Illness & Care: Int'l Perspective

This unit critically analyses national and international concepts of health, illness and care. It investigates the ways in which social, cultural and historical forces have shaped ideas and beliefs about health and illness. The unit also examines the structure of contemporary societies, emphasising the relationship between social structures, cultural factors, and the distribution of health and illness. In particular it examines the effects of social inequalities on the health of vulnerable, at-risk, and marginalised groups.
