Why is understanding the social structure of the people we care for important? Will it make a difference to the outcome of the care we provide, and is it something we should incorporate into our care plans to make a real difference?

We are honoured to speak with Colonol (Retired) David Bates ARRC BN MMedEd MPH SFHEA FIHSCM FRSPH MloD, Senior Lecturer at the University of Cumbria. David will take us through this subject, explaining why an understanding of social structure can help us provide optimal care wherever we work.
