In my unit 9 assignment I will be looking at and comparing communicable and non-communicable diseases. I will also be looking at two different diseases and the differences between them and their signs and symptoms.
Section A (AO1): I will be focusing on communicable and non-communicable diseases are, how they are caused, types of them and the signs and symptoms of one of each and also how they are diagnosed.
Section B (A02): I will be focusing on how diseases are distributed within the population, factors affecting the cause and distribution of diseases and compare the differences between my two chosen diseases (one communicable and one non-communicable).
Section C (A03): I will be showing research and understanding of methods of treatment for each of my disease, also I will be explaining the factors that affect the outcome of different treatment methods for each disease. I will also be comparing the treatment and support available for each disease in different areas of the UK.
Section D (A04): I will be identifying and describing three public health strategies for the prevention of my diseases and also evaluate each strategy for the prevention. I will also be describing some of the work-related problems that can impact on the success of the strategy. Finally I will be giving my overall conclusion of the research and information I have shown in this assignment.
