Health systems globally are changing with the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasising the need for a better understanding of how healthcare systems function, how they are financed, and how strategic policies are developed to ensure the provision of care to the highest quality standards. In this module, students will have the opportunity to spend a week in an overseas location exploring how a system that is not a national health system such as the UK operates and performs. Moreover, the module will explore the demographic and socio-economic challenges faced in that country that impact the health system to see how the system addresses the social determinants of health as well as delivering inclusive healthcare.

The module will use extensive links to the government of that country, the public health system, charities, and the private health sector for delivering lectures and seminars to support students' learning. There will also be several field trips to various businesses, hospitals, and ministries to get a full picture of the health of the citizens and the response of the health sector in the selected country.
