[M1] Assess the biomedical and socio-medical models of health The biomedical model approach to health is used primarily in the western world and industrialised societies. It originated after the industrial revolution of the mid-nineteenth century. This model is largely based on the ideology that health is defined as the absence of the disease and that only; the model is adamant that the involvement of health care professionals is necessary in every incident of illness.

There are many ways in which prescription fraud can occur. Because of the plethora of ways, pharmacists must be alert and responsible in their actions. Many seem to believe that electronic prescribing has been found to reduce the number of errors and statistics and data reflects that. America cannot be ignorant in this matter.

Topic of interest – Ebola virus disease (EVD) As the media coverage around the Ebola virus has gone into overdrive I thought it would be a great topic to focus on to assess the credibility and quality of informational and social sources.

The President of People for the American Way, Michael Keegan says this is very critical healthcare for millions of low income women. He thinks that if the Republican Party was really interested in preventing unplanned pregnancies, they would be more supportive of organizations that provide affordable contraception. Keegan said that if they Republican Party are interested in public health, they would also be more interested in helping women defend themselves against diseases.

Women who have lost their breast to cancer may feel pressured to search for a cure that produces social acceptance. The emphasis on the aesthetic attributions of the breast cancer patient can affect the process if grieving the loss of a breast. Research has shown that women are emotionally attached to their breasts in a number of ways (Lorde, 1980). Society suggests that women's breasts are objects only as they appeal to men.
