Gaps and Legacy Issues in Health and Education

 ... and across the Professions and Disciplines

I've just revised what may be table 1 of an exploratory paper. The table's role is to inform the motivation, scope and overall purpose within the introduction. The aim is to outline the gaps and legacies in health and education. Is this the combined inheritance of life chances, health and work career: gaps?

  1. Theory-Practice gap

    A. Research in Practice – Translational Research;
     B. Education/Training: University – Apprenticeship (see 4.B);

  1. There is no research-based conceptual framework taught and applied across health and social care systems and services.

  2. Individual – Collective (Population) Health

  3. Legacies of:
      A. Integrated care (global: funding / philosophy / location / disciplines / academic …);
      B. Parity of Esteem
           i   Mind - Body – Cartesian dualism;
           ii  Funding of Health Services [mental health - general];
           iii Research funding; Policy & Education);

C. Person-Centred Care – Service-Centred Care;

D. NHS - Social care;

  1. (Ill-Health-Disease, see 4.B.ii) Treatment versus Prevention first 

  2. Long-term policy Vs Short-termism

  3. Personal, Local, Global: Developed – Developing Health Systems & Services 

  4. Determinants of Health (Schrecker and Bambra, 2025)

Any thoughts, key sources ... are most welcome, e.g. should there be a place for sustainability, self-care, the literacies and the basis of funding public, private, or charitable (mixed)? h2cmng AT yahoo.co.uk
