Assignment - Promoting global health and wellbeing in public health practice.

(Part A) A plan for a public health intervention in your own workplace setting, based on a local or national intervention programme for communicable or non-communicable diseases
(2000 words)
(Part B) Proposal towards implementation of the intervention programme (500 words)

(Part C) A critically reflective report on the chosen organisation's strategy for addressing local public health priorities with regards to communicable and non-communicable diseases, incorporating a review of the effectiveness of your proposed intervention.(1500 words)

You are expected to limit yourself to + or - 10% of this word count, though you will not be penalised for exceeding this. All written elements submitted must be double spaced.

The plan, proposal and report should be word-processed documents. You are expected to use appropriate headings, titles and captions, and are encouraged to use images, drawings, artefacts from your intervention and other materials to support your work.

You are expected to use a variety of different resources to help you achieve the assessment criteria, including primary research and data, Any material that is derived from other sources must be suitably referenced using a standard form of citation. For each written element, a corresponding reference/bibliography page must also be included.

Scenario: As a trainee working for a health and social care practitioner, you must demonstrate your understanding of global priorities for health and wellbeing in relation to healthcare priorities in England. As a part of your job role as a healthcare practitioner in a care setting, you are required to demonstrate how to analyse epidemiological data concerning health and wellbeing. You have been assigned to examine the epidemiology of one communicable and non-communicable disease relevant to your care setting. Besides, you must produce a plan for health intervention addressing global health priority in England by using a current public health intervention programme. Lastly, you are expected to implement the planned intervention.

Learning Outcome 3: Examine the epidemiology of communicable and non-communicable diseases related to own health practice
Learning Outcome 4: Assess public health intervention programmes addressing global health priorities in relation to own practice.

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF AND GUIDANCE

Activity
Part A: Produce a plan to implement a current national or local public health intervention programme in your own setting, relevant to your own role.

Your plan should identify and describe one communicable and one non-communicable disease to focus on, and include the following information:
• A definition and examples of global health and wellbeing
• Personal and societal factors impacting on global health issues
• The types of programme/initiatives used to address global and local health and wellbeing priorities
• Summarise the key priorities for health and wellbeing for England.
• Discuss the challenges and issues associated with Global health across different countries by comparing it with England.
• Ways that epidemiological data and evidence is gathered
• Ways that epidemiological evidence is assessed and applied to issues of global health and wellbeing
• Analyse with examples of how they are adapted to suit local policy needs.
• An introduction to the chosen diseases and rationale for your choice as it relates to the services provided by your setting, and an analysis of epidemiological data regarding the incidence and prevalence of the diseases globally, and in your local area. All of this should be in the context of an assessment of the issues and challenges in determining public health and wellbeing priorities globally and locally.
• An analysis of one global and one local public health intervention strategy, and the personal
factors that can impact the implementation and success of these
• Details of your planned intervention including anticipated outcomes, objectives, targets for implementation, resources required, how participants will be engaged and involved, and how you will measure success. You should provide evidence of consultation with service users and/or the wider community to devise your intervention. Assess the measures to control the disease to your own work setting.
Part B: Submit a proposal towards implementation of your intervention and a reflection on the
effectiveness of your intervention based on your experience and observation. Ensure that the proposal is in conjunction to the plan as specified above.

Learning Outcome 1: Discuss global priorities for health and wellbeing in relation to healthcare priorities of own country
Learning Outcome 2: Analyse epidemiological data in relation to health and wellbeing

Activity (addressing LO2)

Part C: Your summative report should be a critical reflection on the proposed success of your proposal in the context of local and global public health improvement programmes aiming to address the communicable and non-communicable diseases that were your focus. It should include:
• Discuss epidemiological principles and sources of evidence applicable to health and well being.
• Critique the effectiveness of methods used to obtain epidemiological data to determine global and local health priorities.
• How epidemiological evidence impacts the approach your setting takes to address the diseases identified. Make sure you discuss and assess the challenges and issues in determining the priorities for heath and well being with reference to Epidemiology.
• Discuss the measures taken in your setting are impacted by local and global public health improvement programmes and priorities. Ensure to support the report with sources of evidence applicable to health and wellbeing in England.
• How effectively you took the above into account in the planning and implementation of your intervention to support your workplace in addressing these diseases and in meeting the needs of service users
• The impact of your experience on developing your own public health practice and ways it can develop your professional career pathway e.g., work in global health policy development
