Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD
This blog provides a space for reflections on a HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE and INFORMATICS model which has universal potential in terms of application and users.

If time permits you will find a highly eclectic mix of posts about Hodges' model, its development plus items on education, conferences and computing. The website, on-line since 1998 needs a major overhaul. With this and more in mind I am (slowly) learning Drupal and Ruby.
