When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
In Wales, joined-up working is written into law, turning collaboration from a preference into a duty with real money attached. Regional Partnership Boards are the starting point: why integration is planned by region, how a Welsh health board both plans and delivers care, what Part 9 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 asks of the seven boards, and A Healthier Wales. The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 is then read as a systems framework, with its five ways of working, the involvement duty and Public Services Boards, and Gwent, the first Marmot region in Wales, shows a partnership choosing a goal beyond reporting.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Explain why Wales plans integration by region and how the Welsh model, in which health boards both plan and deliver care, shapes partnership and accountability.
- Explain how the five ways of working in the Well-being of Future Generations Act map onto systems ideas such as delays, the fundamental solution and boundary critique.
- Outline the five principles of the 2014 Act and the Part 9 duties of Regional Partnership Boards, from membership and planning to pooled funds and engagement.
- Describe the Public Services Board cycle and identify where collaborative inertia and long delays are most likely to set in.
- Assess whether a partnership board genuinely shapes decisions or simply approves papers, drawing on A Healthier Wales and the third sector voices of the 2017 Think Piece.
- Assess whether a partnership's goal could be met by reporting alone, and plan a goal and first steps that require partners to change.

- 12Wales: The Law as a Systems FrameworkIn Wales, core ideas of systems thinking are written into law. This module reads the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 as a systems framework: its five ways of working, the involvement duty, Public Services Boards and the planning cycle. It uses Gwent, the first Marmot region in Wales, working with Sir Michael Marmot's Institute of Health Equity, to show how a statutory partnership can choose a goal beyond reporting.39 min
