The Keele Model

The Keele Model is a framework that describes how various factors influence health and illness. It emphasizes that health results from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors, rather than just individual biology. The model highlights seven key components: physical health, psychological state, social environment, lifestyle, health services, and biological factors, all interconnected. This holistic approach encourages healthcare to address not only medical issues but also psychological and social influences, promoting more comprehensive and personalized patient care.
