Contribute to raising awareness of health Task 1 1.1 Reasons why it may be necessary to raise awareness of health issues: Raising awareness of health issues increases the chance of issues being detected in the early stages, it educates people about the issues, how to diagnose them and how to treat them, and the healthier people are the less likely they are to have health issues. 1.2 The roles of agencies and others who may be involved in raising awareness of health issues: Community nurses and doctors will promote awareness of illness and lifestyle choices that may affect your health, the government and local councils will have policy’s and legislation about what must be done about health care.

Difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice and ways of overcoming the difficulties in health and social care In this unit so far I have looked at ways in which individuals should be treated in health and social care settings. I have also looked at legislation, policies and discrimination. In health and social care, it is important to be careful with what you say and do. This is so that you do not cause offence to anyone or discriminate against a certain individual or group of individuals. It is important to promote anti-discriminatory practice when working in health and/or social care settings however; when you are implementing this, there can be some difficulties.
There are different ways to monitor the effects of research such as; using questionnaires, interviews and reviewing the data. An example of this is to send out a health questionnaire asking the public how they feel the GP surgeries are performing. Lastly the function of research is to examine the topics of contemporary interest, these topics are issues which are relevant to health and social care that continuously emerge and become the subject of debate among both public and professionals. Research is needed to explore the extent of issues and potential benefits of individuals and society, an example of this is examining the likeliness of a global
More partners are embracing HITECH to improve public health.

This will also allow for more patient interaction in the health care process. The fourth objective is “Initiating the reporting of clinical quality measures and public health information.” (Meaningful Use, 2013) The more reports are generated the fewer mistakes will be made and better decisions will be made.

The management of the therapist’s counter transference, through the containment of the group’s projections, is related to positive therapeutic outcome. Self-awareness and self-care are crucial in counter transference management. Regular consultation with a co-therapist or supervisor/consultant can also be very useful. (Association, 2007) I have found it very difficult to research the effectiveness of a non personalised induction in hypnotherapy as all the evidence shows that personalised inductions are far more effective, the only time that it would be difficult to produce a personalised script is if you were to hold a group session or produce a CD or video to focus on a certain situation such as to stop smoking, fear of spiders etc. Personalised inductions are more effective as they treat each person as an individual, in order to do this you need to assess the client, it is important that you have to try to find the most effective way to communicate with your client so that they get the most benefit from the session, in order to do this you need to take into account the clients modalities, explained below.

Without prior market penetration of an organization’s competetitors, the usefulness and effectiveness of properly marketing a new product or service can be quite burdensome. This is due to the fact that an organization runs a major risk of constantly striving to maintain its customer base, as the new type of product or service has not yet been introduced into the maintstream. Additionally, pricing may be an issue based upon: Should pricing be very low to attract new buyers?, or Should pricing be set high to offset initial entry into a new marketplace? These are the questions that an organization must face, but for the most part, being a
Advertisement, commonly viewed as a way to promote a product, is more than what it seems. In the present day, critics view advertisements as a propaganda that guides the audience the wrong direction. Mr. Schrank suggest that some people who watch advertisements are vulnerable to the “ad’s attacks.”(Doc. E) However, I disagree, advertisements are informative to our daily lives; without them our world would probably fall apart. They do just more than promote a product; an advertisement helps wage for jobs, educate people, and also explains how to make our lives better.
