Apologies for cross-postings **************************** Health and Social Care Modelling and Informatics SEMINARS 2002/03 University of Westminster, CSCS, Department of Mathematics **************************** All seminars are Tuesdays at 17:00 in room 5.05, at 9-18 Euston Centre, London (off Drummond Street, nearest tube: Warren Street) ---------------------------- Date: 12 November 2002 Speaker: Prof Peter Millard, HSCMG, University of Westminster and St. George’s Hospital, London ---------------------------- 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. ---------------------------- Next Talk...
