HEALTH-CARE - INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS

A conference held at the College in July 1994 examined the wide range of health care systems employed around the world and their varying responses to the combined pressures of demographic change and increasing patient expectations in the face of anticipated unsustainable increases in financial demand. The meeting, which was planned by Professor Roger Williams, was jointly sponsored by the College, the NHS Management Executive, Glaxo Holdings plc, the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust and the Kohn Foundation.
