You must use this structure for the report.
|
|
1.
|
Introduction (~200 words – the recommended words are rough guides to the expected word count for each section)
You will introduce your topic, and detail what will be explored in the report (e.g. introduce each section of the report)
|
|
2.
|
a) Locality (LO1) (~100 words)
You will choose a locality that is relevant to you – for example, where you work or live. It is recommended that a county is chosen, as a lot of data is collected at this level.
You will provide demographic data. For example, population, age range, changes in population, ethnicity of population
b) Health and Social Care data (LO5) (~500 words)
You will choose a public health need that is relevant to your locality. For example, it may be a health need in your community, and the data shows it is an issue in your area. You need to relate your chosen health need to your branch: adult, mental health, child.
You will explore the data related to your chosen health need in your locality. You will use data from a range of different sources, including the local Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), the Local Authority Health Profile and Public Health Outcomes Framework on the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) Fingertips website. Additional data can be used from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), NHS Digital, NHS England, and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
You will include tables and diagrams to demonstrate the data. Data can include the prevalence of the disease in the locality, the prevalence of the disease in different groups (e.g. female/male, age range, different ethnicities). Data could also include hospital admissions related to the condition, or deaths related to the condition.
The tables and figures can be copied from other sources but must include a title and a reference.
You will need to include a small amount of national data and international data too. This may be the rates of the condition from the whole country, and rates globally. What implications can you draw from this? Is your locality rate much higher than the national and international data? Or is it similar, or lower?
|
|
3.
|
Determinants, inequalities, and barriers to health (LO1, LO2) (~800 words)
You will demonstrate your understanding of the wider determinants of health, health inequalities and barriers to health.
Identify any health determinants and inequalities in your chosen locality which may impact on the public health issue you have identified, and the overall health of this community.
Relate your findings to social data such as employment rates, level of education, economic deprivation
You will use local data to highlight any health inequalities. For example, data on life expectancy and the differences between the richest and poorest. Are there inequalities in the rates of your chosen health need that relate to socioeconomic position, gender, ethnicity, employment or education?
You will use published research on the wider determinants of health and health inequalities to explore the health need in more detail. You will link this to the local data.
You will use published research on the barriers to health for this chosen need, and relate to your chosen locality.
|
|
4.
|
a) Review of current service provision (LO5) (~400 words)
You will explore the local services for your chosen public health need. What NHS, private and charitable services are available for people in your area?
What national services are there? What national guidelines are there for this condition? Are there any relevant NICE Guideline?
b) Role of the Nurse in health promotion and screening (LO4) (~500 words)
You will explore the role of the nurse in health promotion and prevention of ill health for this public health need. You will use health promotion theory to explore the role of the nurse.
You will consider what screening can be undertaken for this condition, and the role of the nurse in this.

1. Introduction: (200 words)
Briefly highlight what the report is about, the reason for the report, the locality you are discussing and the local public health concern you have chosen to identify specific healthcare services and review the role of the nurse in promoting health in this area.
2a) Choosing a locality: (100 words)
-
- Choose one area or locality
- The local area you study in this area should be:
- Somewhere that interests you and/or which you are familiar with (placement area or local home area)
- One which you can use published data to inform a discussion about social and health care needs in that area
- Detail your choice of area.
- You may choose a district or county. If you can find appropriate data at district level, it may be worthwhile choosing this as a locality. You can then compare districts within the county when you explore the determinants of health and health inequalities.
2b) Health and social care data
Finding Statistics and Information:
-
- Gather insight data on ONE prevalent public health need
- This data should initially be gathered from local joint strategic needs assessments (JSNA) and OHID Fingertips around the health of your chosen population, in your chosen community and needs to be relevant for your branch of nursing e.g. Childhood obesity rates if you are a child nurse, rates of mental ill health like depression or suicide if you are a mental health nurse, or rates of cancer, smoking or long term conditions if you are an adult nurse. There may be some that cross branches and it is advisable to discuss your choice with your personal tutor.
- Utilise information from reputable source using Office for Health Improvement and Disparities Local Authority Health ProfilesLinks to an external site.
- Other sites that will support the data in your assignment could include NHS digitalLinks to an external site., Office of National statisticsLinks to an external site. , and NHS England Data Catalogue.Links to an external site.
- Identify one key health and social care issue in your chosen locality by reviewing the epidemiology and prevalence of this data, e.g. immunisation rates if you are a child nurse, rates of self-harm if you are a mental health nurse, or rates of cancer or cardiovascular disease if you are an adult nurse
Demonstrate The Statistics (100 words)
-
- Demonstrate this data in tables, graphs or pie chart and in a brief written summary
- Identify your sources
Discuss The Statistics: (400 words)
-
- Discuss what the data suggests about public health care need in that area and the implications for health care. Support this information with key research that may validate your findings
- Within your discussion compare your findings to national and worldwide figures. What implications can you draw from this?
3. Determinants, inequalities and barriers to health (800 words)
- Identify the determinants, inequalities and barriers to health
- Within your locality, identify the environmental, societal, and social determinants of health (like poverty, education, culture, economy, geography, and gender) that create health inequalities.
- Health inequalities are unfair avoidable differences between groups of people. Look at the differences in the status of people’s health such as the life expectancy, access to care, behavioural risk factors from the data. E.g. It may be that this particular county that has higher suicide rates than the rest of the UK, find out why this might be the case.
- You can use publications such as the Kings FundLinks to an external site., NHS EnglandLinks to an external site., Public Health England outcomes frameworkLinks to an external site., HealthKnowledge. OrgLinks to an external site., Naidoo and Wills (2016) Foundations for Health Promotion Book (chapter 2 and 3), Links to an external site. or any other health promotion text book to help develop your discussion.
- Try to really understand the determinants that have impacted to create this health inequality causing an health need in this area.
4a) Review of current service provision (400 words)
-
- Identify local, national policy, services, charities available for your public health concern
- For example if you have chosen rising teenage depression the services might include GP, CPFT, counselling, NHS therapy, CBT, MIND, Lifecraft, Samaritans
- Highlight briefly what these services provide and what the local / national guidance recommends, e.g. Cambridge and Peterborough Foundation Trust (CPFT), National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) (previously Public Health England (PHE)), Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
4b) Role of the nurse in health promotion and screening (500 words)
-
- Highlight what nurses do in identifying the health issue and any screening if applicable for the public health need you have identified, e.g. practice nurses and the use of screening tools to identify depression
- Once the health concern is identified look at what the nurse does to make every contact count and to empower the patient to make healthy choices e.g. discussing a change model and apply to the patient who is contemplating change like the empowerment model
- What health promotion services does the nurse provide, e.g. for depression trained mental health primary care nurse, face-to-face patient contact, clinical supervision, planning meetings, role development, communication and dissemination with the rest of the primary health-care team, and preparation of materials for patient use
- "Health promotion and public health for nursing students" by Links to an external site.Evans, Coutsaftiki, and Fathers (2017)Links to an external site. will provide some useful reading and evidence to support your discussion
5. Conclusion (300 words)
Summarise the findings in your report
6. Recommendations (200 words)
Make recommendations for future practice
