This book illustrates the relevance of chaos and complexity theory to healthcare organisations public health clinical governance and the consultation. It explains the terms and ideas at the heart of complexity the unfamiliar science behind it and how it applies to the real world. In healthcare the NHS is a complex adaptive system. So are hospitals general practices diseases and patients. The book describes how insights from complexity can help us better understand how organisations patients or disease develop over time in an often unpredictable manner.
