Resources for SA1

Suggested additional reading for Subject SA1 Health and Care

Students may find it useful to consult some of the suggested sources listed within the 'Solving Problems' section of the SA1 Core Reading to obtain a wider appreciation or different viewpoint when studying a particular topic.

However, students are not expected to have read all of the items on the list or to have gained detailed knowledge of any particular topic additional to that contained in the core reading. Equally, students may use other sources of information to enhance their wider understanding, such as:

• The financial press and weekend supplements
• The trade press, particularly those that specialise in health and care
• Publications and websites of reinsurers and actuarial consultancies
• Information on the websites of bodies such as the ABI, PRA and FSA
• Papers from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and the Staple Inn Actuarial Society (see below)
• Continuous Mortality Investigation bulletins
• Future IFoA events and webinars found on the IFoA event calendar
• Past health and care-related presentations made at IFoA events, including session and webinar recordings, which can be found on the IFoA's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
• Health-related presentations made at conferences that sit within other practice areas (e.g. Life, General Insurance).
