Among the topics you will explore are: why people are living longer the impact of longer life-span on health & care services the influences on health at different stages in the life span how we can use the life-span model outlined in this course to plan for the future. The concept of life-span development is one that owes its origins to demography & epidemiology. Life-span trends & changes have an impact on the planning & delivery of health & social services. It is now recognised that individuals at different stages in the life-span will exhibit different needs. These needs are not due simply to the ageing process & disease patterns but also to the social & environmental influences at different stages. They are also influenced by what is perceived as rational & reasonable behaviour at particular points in the life-span.

However it is not thought to be rational or reasonable for an eighty-year-old to start learning to ski. ...

Logistics Course In this course we examine logistics. Logistics is concerned with managing the flow of materials through an organisation to the customer. It is concerned with making things happen. It organises inputs (receipts from suppliers), supplies the transformation process (work in progress) & is finally responsible for delivering the output (finished goods) to the customer. Increasingly, organisations are looking at their products or services as part of a chain or network. They are looking at what they produce & trying to optimise the value of all the inputs from all sources - that is, all the suppliers in the chain of supply. This is called supply chain management. This closer linking between customer & supplier organisations obviously needs much closer integration, & organisations are sharing much more information to achieve this. This involves utilising information technology for sharing data about stock levels, demand & trends. These initiatives use technology such as EPOS (electronic point of sale equipment), EDI (electronic data interchange), scanning & bar-coding. After participating in this course, you should be able to: define logistics explain how logistics works in a factory, from goods in to distribution out identify the problems involved in stock holding & control understand just-in-time (JIT) approaches understand the role played by distribution identify key performance measures & the role of benchmarking in logistics appreciate that logistics strategy is linked to an organisation's corporate strategy. ...

Labour Market & Human Resource Planning Course The exchange of work for payment is a practice as old as human civilisation & as modern as today's newspaper. We hear of "fat cats" earning too much & we hear of junior hospital doctors enduring the stress of working too much & earning too little. We hear much less about the mechanisms whereby the people looking for work & employers looking for people to do work actually get together. These mechanisms are the mechanisms of the labour market, as everyone who exchanges their work for someone else's payment is part of a labour market. Matching supply with demand is an activity involving careers advisors, recruitment consultants, job centres & other agencies before it becomes one of the central features of human resource management. Economists explain the way supply & demand works between those who offer employment & those who offer their labour, with the emphasis on the economic aspects of the options open to the parties: " Theory suggests that job choice is determined by the bundle of wage & non-wage conditions attached to different jobs. Current earnings, employment prospects, probable future earnings, the nature & conditions of work & similar factors are all evaluated by the person seeking work, whose ultimate decision between alternative job openings depends on the balance of net advantages" (Mackay et al. 1971, p. 16). Here we limit ourselves to those features of labour market data & analysis that impinge on the vacancy filling problems of organisations. ...
