Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

What is a community hospital?

What is a community hospital? | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
Community hospitals are a new type of health facility that are being developed to expand our public hospital network and deliver a range of walk-in hospital, community health and social care services close to home.

They will improve your patient experience by providing more access to in-demand services in one place. So, you will be able to access services such as dental treatments, day chemotherapy, renal dialysis or pharmacy and diagnostic services under one roof.
