Title: Ageing and the Bio / Psycho/ Social Model of Care
Abstract: Operational Research, Rehabilitation and the NHS were health care
outcomes of the Second World War. Rehabilitation is difficult to define and
harder still to measure. In the 1980’s the central place of rehabilitation
controlling long-term care was overlooked. Using flow diagrams I will
explain why the NHS bed crisis occurred. Current solutions to the bed
crisis involve preventing social admissions, speeding up discharge and the
development of intermediate care. But the population is ageing, older
people need time to recover, and disease presents differently in old age.
To illustrate this I will consider conflict theory, the Goldilocks
principles, and the bio-psycho- social model of care, then argue that
rational planning will only return when the scientific principles that
underpin the care of an ageing population are identified, disseminated and
taught.
