A universal conceptual framework for health & social care

Hello everyone,
The health career – care domains - model is a free open access resource which may be of interest? A conceptual framework, its prime application is across ALL health and social care, although the model's potential scope extends far beyond care disciplines. This arises from the model's structure which is constructed from two axes:

individual - group
humanistic - mechanistic

These give rise to four care or knowledge domains:

1. Sciences
2. Interpersonal
3. Sociology
4. Political

There is a website and blog -

Blog - “Welcome to the QUAD”

The blog includes a bibliography and archive. Each of the care domains includes a knowledge resource, with the interpersonal covering mental health, therapies, psychology ….
