THE HEALTH SYSTEM OF THE UNITED KINGDOM
2013 STUDY TOUR
June 2-8, 2013
London, England
Join AUPHA, your colleagues and fellow faculty and students as we explore the health system of the United Kingdom and the NHS. According to the NHS website, "Since its launch in 1948, the NHS has grown to become the world’s largest publicly funded health service. It is also one of the most efficient, most egalitarian and most comprehensive." Don't miss this opportunity to see first-hand how a single-payer health system functions.
