Globalising World

In our rapidly globalising world, “the global scholar” is a key concept for reimagining the roles of academics at the nexus of the global and the local. This book critically explores the implications of the concept for understanding postgraduate studies and supervision. It uses three conceptual lenses – “horizon”, “currency” and “trajectory” – to organise the thirteen chapters, concluding with a reflection on the implications of Covid-19 for postgraduate studies and supervision. Authors bring their perspectives on the global scholar from a variety of contexts, including South Africa, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Chile, Germany, Cyprus, Kenya and Israel. They explore issues around policy, research and practice, sharing a concern with the relation between the local and the global, and a passion for advancing postgraduate studies and supervision.

Lump Sum

What I have to say follows on very naturally from what Dr. Johnson has just said. I ought to explain that in the United Kingdom we work in somewhat different situations from yours in the United States, from the administrative point of view, but most particularly from the financial funding point of view. Under the National Health Service we are not paid per item of service; we get a lump sum on which we have to run our departments. If we see two patients or if we see a million patients it makes no difference. In many ways, if we see few patients we can give them a better service than if we see many. I realise that this is a concept which is perhaps new to those of you in the United States, that your income in fact comes from numbers of patients.

The Issue. This article describes the organization of the National Health Service with respect to the primary and secondary levels of care it offers children. It begins with a personal reflection from 17 years ago that is still relevant to the challenges confronting families in the United Kingdom today. It will discuss the basics of what is different and what is similar when comparing the UK health care system to that of the United States.
