Understand how it all fits together
The handbook sets out how the NHS is structured in England including a step-by-step guide to primary care, acute (or hospital) services, foundation trusts, mental health and ambulance services.
A key challenge for 2010/11 is how the NHS can delivery efficiency savings while continuing to provide high-quality services for patients. The handbook examines the current structure of how the NHS is funded and which organisation is responsible for deciding which services to run and provide for patients.
To help you understand the increasing divergence between the health systems in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the handbook provides an overview of the key structures, bodies and operating principles in the four countries of the UK.
