Supporting Healthcare

Synopsis: SUPPORTING HEALTHCARE develops from an overview of the purchasing supply and logistic functions in the National Health Services (NHS) in England. It also looks at the different roles of a large supplier of medical equipment called B. Braun. These roles are related to different NHS stakeholders, which raises the question: who are the end users in such a complex system? Different sections identify priorities in healthcare that, in some cases, stand in sharp contrast to those of the other service sector case studies in retailing, and therefore shape management of the supply chain.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
