The Social Model of Health
The social model of health considers a broader range of factors that influence health and wellbeing, for example, environmental, economic, social and cultural.
Students could begin by considering how a person’s health could be influenced (positively and/or negatively) by each of these four factors.
They could then find out about the spending priorities of their local Clinical Commissioning Group and try to identify ways in which these priorities
