HSC516 Wales 2016 Revised 3-30-2018 1 Central Michigan Central Michigan University School of Health Sciences, The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions Health Administration Division HSC516U 22361904 - The National Health Service (NHS) from the Perspective of Wales Travel Course in Wales, United Kingdom June 25-29, 2018 Faculty: Steven Berkshire, EdD (Principle) and Mark Cwiek, JD Health Administration Division 208 Rowe Hall Central Michigan University Mount Pleasant, MI 48859 [email protected] (989) 774-1640 Course Description: This travel course will explore the culture in Wales and examine the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom from the perspective of Wales and how it operates in the region. Learning Objectives: Students will be able to: 1. Identify components of the National Health Service from an operational perspective. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the differences between the NHS and the US Healthcare System. 3. Demonstrate an understanding of differences in the way healthcare is delivered in the metropolitan and rural areas of Wales. 4. Explain the political and social implications related to the NHS. 5. Experience the culture of Wales through cultural events and activities. 6. Develop an appreciation for the similarities and differences between Wales, the UK and the USA. Textbooks and Readings: These are recommended and will be available through the Library Reserve section of the University Library. Longley, M., Riley, N., Davies, P. and Hernandes-Quevedo, C. (2012), United Kingdom (Wales): Health System Review. Health Systems in Transition 14(11). European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (WHO). Boyle, S. (2011). United Kingdom (England): Health Systems Review. Health System Review. Health Systems in Transition 13(1). European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (WHO). HSC516 Wales 2016 revised 3-30-2018 1 Selected journal articles on the National Health Service. Course Information: The course is designed as one of the courses for the Graduate Certificate in International Health, hence there is a graduate level focus on the learning and activities in the course. Upper Division undergraduate students with an interest in global health may be accepted based on academic standing and background. Students will make their own travel arrangements to Cardiff, Wales where the course will be headquartered. Recommended lodging will be provided, but students may make arrangements elsewhere. The course is being offered in collaboration with the University of South Wales. Academic curriculum includes lectures from professionals and government representatives in Wales, visits with administrators and clinicians at healthcare facilities in South Wales, both in urban areas and rural areas. In addition a number of cultural activities are planned to give students an understanding of the people and institutions in Wales. There is an international airport in Cardiff so students can plan flights direct to Cardiff from Amsterdam and Dublin (plus others). Cardiff is a 2 ½ drive from Heathrow Airport in London or a similar time on the train or bus. The bus is more convenient and leaves from the terminals at Heathrow. The central downtown is a walking mall area (Saint David’s Center) making shopping and eating fairly easy. Cardiff Bay is a newer area on the waterfront where the Parliament Building and Performing Arts Center is located as well as several restaurants, pubs, and shops. The Bay is an easy bus ride from downtown. Lodging accommodations are the responsibility of the participant. Here are two website suggested by the University of South Wales. There may be other accommodations through B&B sites or student hostel sites. The instructor will be staying at either the Hilton Cardiff or Marriott. http://www.visitcardiff.com/ http://www.visitcardiff.com/wheretostay/ Being close the central city is probably preferable. We will be spending most of the lecture time at the University of South Wales Atrium campus near the central railway station. There are a number of hotels around Saint David’s Center, the main downtown shopping mall area. The Atrium campus is just off the mall area. Students in this course may wish to also consider enrolling in HSC516G – World Health Organization which is the week after. The WHO course is held in Geneva. Students could save on airplane tickets by combining the two courses. There are several convenient airplane connections between London and Geneva or between Amsterdam and Geneva. There are daily flights from Amsterdam to Cardiff. There is bus and train service from Heathrow to Cardiff. The bus is the most convenient – about 2 hours. HSC516 Wales 2016 revised 3-30-2018 2 All students must have the approval of the course leader prior to enrolling. Students interested need to contact Study Abroad to complete the application package. There will be a course fee for this course in addition to the tuition. Students need to plan on bringing sufficient fund for meals and other activities beyond those included in the course fee. Schedule for the course – subject to modification and change. Sunday, June 24 – arrive in Cardiff Monday, June 25 – Welcome to Cardiff and Wales Trip to Senedd (Wales Parliament) Overview of Wales Healthcare System Explore Cardiff Bay area Tuesday, June 26 – Public Health in Wales Meet with officials of NHS Excursion to cultural locations Wednesday, June 27 - Research and practice in Healthcare and Services Museum of Welsh Life at St. Fagans Thursday, June 28 - Merthyr Tydfil at Kier Hardy University Health Park Brecon region – rural healthcare Bronllys Hospital Cultural activities in Brecon region Friday, June 29 – Velindre Cancer Center, Cardiff Wrap up of learning Excursion Evening event – Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (Tappas and Jazz) Saturday, June 30 – Departure There are a number of cultural activities being considered, including castles, mining operations, museums, cruise in Cardiff Bay, Rugby match. Some of these may be additional expenses. Assignments: This is a CR/NC course usually, although if a student wishes a letter grade, that can be arranged. There will be a required Collaborate Session about three weeks prior to the trip during which introductory materials will be discussed, expectations outlined, and questions answered. Students will keep a daily journal about what they learned and discovered and how it compares with the American Experience. There will be a term paper due two weeks after the class ends in HSC516 Wales 2016 revised 3-30-2018 3 which the student will examine the NHS in comparison to the USA system, explore issues that came up during the week. Students are expected to use outside academic sources in the paper, using the APA format. Expectations: Students are expected to behave professionally at all times. Dress will be business causal. No shorts, tank tops, jeans, or other attire for class activities. Check the weather prior to traveling to be sure of bringing appropriate coats and rain gear (just in case). Each participant will need to have access to a mobile/cell phone while in Wales. The instructor must know the number so you can be reached during the week. In addition the instructor must know where you will be staying and how to contact you at that location. These are required by the University. Emergency plans will be available listing contact information, location of health clinics and emergency services. While it is unlikely there will be an emergency, best to be safe. The University provides health insurance for students participating in the course. Be sure to bring the insurance information with you since you will need it if seeking care while in Wales. While family may wish to travel with you to Wales, they cannot participate in any of the scheduled classes unless enrolled as students in the course. There may be some of the cultural events that they can travel separately to and join you at those events. Remember that the University is not liable for anything that may happen to family members or others not enrolled in the course. We travel by public train to many of the cultural events, so traveling at the same time to those should be ok. The trip to the rural hospital and region is by arranged bus, hence they cannot participate in that day’s trip. Note: The actual daily schedule is subject to revision.

  • Regulatory Appraisal Education
    REGULATORY APPRAISAL EDUCATION, WALES THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR WALES (TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES AND ABOLITION) ORDER 2005 Background 1. The decision to merge the functions of the National Council for Education and Training for Wales (ELWa) into the Education and Lifelong Learning Department of the National Assembly for Wales is part of a wider agenda of the Welsh Assembly Government to deliver quality public services which are more joined-up, more responsive to people and businesses, and more efficient. Purpose and intended effect of the measure 2. This Order will transfer the functions (together with any property, rights and liabilities) of the National Council for Training and Education for Wales (ELWa) to the National Assembly for Wales; provides for the transfer of staff from ELWa to the National Assembly for Wales; makes appropriate consequential, incidental, transitional and supplementary provisions; and abolishes ELWa. 3. ELWa is responsible for planning, funding, promoting and quality assuring post-16 education and training in Wales, with the exception of higher education. This includes further education, private and voluntary sector training provision, adult and community learning and school sixth forms. Risk Assessment 4. The purpose of the legislation is not about addressing risks or hazards. The probability of any significant risk or harm arising as a result of this legislation proceeding or not is likely to be minimal. It is intended that existing functions should continue and, where possible, improvements to the services made. Options Option 1: Do Nothing 5. Without the transfer of functions of ELWa to the National Assembly for Wales the merger of ELWa into the National Assembly for Wales cannot be implemented.
