Compulsory activity before the start of the course (preparatory work):
Prior to attending, please read The Norwegian Government's Plan for the care services field for 2015-2020 available at http://www.regjeringen.no/contentassets/.../careplan2020_eng.pdf
This document will form the basis of understanding Health Care Policy in Norway. (If Norway is not your home country, you may find it useful to look for a similar document for your own country). We will use the document throughout the course, so it is important that you have read it and thought about the following questions prior to attending:
Who are the two main players in the Healthcare plan?
What are the three main areas which receive special attention?
What are the implications of this plan for: Patients, where new hospitals are located and built, quality improvements, digital resources.
Come to the course prepared to discuss these issues and how they are likely to impact on the skills you will require as a healthcare professional.
