This article is the first in a series of features comparing and contrasting aspects of oncology care delivery in non-US settings. The Journal of Oncology Practice will occasionally publish similar pieces in anticipation of discovering best practices from international health care systems. Dr Prentice's contribution is based on his presentation to the Committee on Practice of the American Society of Hematology at their December 2005 meeting.

The Uk

This paper discusses and compares the origin and development of the health care systems of South Korea and the UK from the end of WW2 and endeavours to compare outcomes. The paper emphasises the importance of war as a stimulus to the development of national health services in both countries and argues that there is convergence between the UK's nationalised NHS and South Korea's US-modelled capitalist system. Overall, we conclude that there is a possibility not only that the financing and nature of the Korean and UK health care delivery systems may show convergence, but it is not impossible that they will ‘change places’ with the UK system dominated by private provision and South Korea's by public provision.
