In this seminar Jenny will consider the impact of defining health and health services through a medical lens which means we tend to prioritise acute care over prevention. This ignores the considerable impact of the socio-economic determinants of health and disadvantage the people who need health care the most.  Also, she will discuss the rearrangements of managerialism and high levels of bureaucracy to solve problems whilst simultaneously continuing with a model of service delivery (models of care) that has largely not changed in many years.
