PROJECT SYNOPSIS

Rationale

The research study undertaken for the purpose of drafting the final thesis will study the problem at hand in a logical and elaborated manner. By performing a deep research, all the obvious aspects of the ageing population will be taken into consideration and will be observed critically and analytically in order to facilitate the reader with a valid and extensive first hand information. Thus, a proper research beneficial to the study will be carried out and illustrated in a legible manner.

The research study presented in this proposal and in the final document of thesis report will analyze the issues related to the ageing of the population of United Kingdom and its impact on the National Health Service department of the nation. It also intends to give a broad analysis of the challenges that are being posed by the currently existing problems.
