Best approach to fixing this?

I've just bought my first house (very excited!) but now getting into fixing the DIY work of the previous owners. There's a lot of half-assed plasterwork like this with exposed mesh, and it's very uneven.

What's the best approach here? Sanding back and re plastering over? Scrapping the whole thing right back to the wall and start fresh? Plasterboard on top? Any and all suggestions welcome.

It's a 1950's house with mass concrete walls.
