Ever since I started this course I began to appreciate the importance of healthcare scientist more and their significant impact in the NHS today. I was surprised by a certain piece of information provided to us by a lecturer which was that healthcare scientist only comprise of 5% of the NHS workforce, however they are involved in 80% of all diagnostics and treatment.

I am interested in running for the position of Secretary of the National Honor Society so that I can assist the President and Vice President in making our school a better place. We, as members of this prestigious group, have the duty to involve Saucon Valley as a whole in order to do community service for the benefit of all. As Secretary, I plan to amp up the school spirit here at Saucon so that every individual student feels included and motivated to better our school and our community. For example, the blood drive that NHS hosts every year can become a schoolwide effort with a little more enthusiasm. In previous years, many underclassmen ignore the blood drive completely because of their age and thus, their inability to donate blood. But if we were to make the event more “fun” as a whole, we could encourage students to get the word out to their parents, neighbors, or friends to get involved and donate their blood to those who need it. And by “fun”, I imply decorations throughout the school, exaggerated morning announcements, offers of food, anything that will get the student body excited to share their blood!…

Cases of teenage pregnancy continue to rise rather fast. Unfortunately, most health facilities such as trusts do not offer the requisite antenatal care to expectant teenagers. Lack of or the existence of poorly managed antenatal classes for teenagers is major challenge in ensuring expectant teenagers have comfortable pregnancies. Change and innovation are the right approaches by which antenatal classes for expectant teenagers can be realised. Several models of change are available for use in ensuring change in the formation and implementation of antenatal classes for teenagers. This innovation plan for enhanced quality care in antenatal classes for teenagers is based on the NHS change model. The eight core principles of the NHS Change Model form the framework for the innovation plan.…
While researching texts written and published about Nurse Practitioners, I have found that Nurse Practitioners are rapidly becoming the top health partner choice for many Americans. Nurse Practitioners have been servicing patients for over forty years. The NP role had its initiation in the mid-sixties in response to a lack of physicians in the United States.They can perform very extensive and concentrated examinations; distinguish and treat common keen illnesses, as well as laboratory tests; and educate and instruct patients and their loved ones about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and possible health care options. In all fifty states Nurse Practitioners are allowed to prescribe medications to patients, including controlled substances. Only twenty-six states allow Nurse…
A student who serves not only serves their community, but their school, and fellow classmates as well in multiple ways. They must be willing to give up their personal time to help those in need. The student must be able to take on difficult tasks without it being an issue for the person providing them with the task. They must help their fellow classmates in any way necessary. I believe I have shown all of these characteristics during my time here at Bath High School.…

The English Patient is a novel written in 1992 by Sri Lankan-Canadian Michael Ondaatje, whose novel won the Booker Prize for best novel of 1992 and was adapted into an award-winning film in 1996. This book was written in a non-linear narrative, so that it provides the reader a different way to go through the reading of a novel, and which sometimes creates dynamism in the novel narrative, but also it could create confusion in the reader. «The story tells about nationhood, identity, and displacement» (Gale, 2006), but also explores loneliness, and life and death; these are linked themes in the novel, and also are the points to be analyzed in the following essay.…
