Unit 9 - Health and Social Care
Introduction
Throughout this assignment I am going to be looking into the health and social topic of communicable and non-communicable diseases. I will be investigating into various aspects of two specific diseases. A high level of knowledge will be demonstrated with a detailed description of both communicable and non-communicable diseases as well as an understanding of epidemiology. I will then find a communicable and non-communicable disease example and describe the biological basis of each disease with an explanation to how the body responds to the disease. A list of at least three of the different signs and symptoms which are produced and displayed with the disease will then be shown. The changes shown as a result from the disease will be related to the methods used to diagnose and differentiate these diseases.
The report will also identify and review at least three of the factors that could affect the distribution of the disease. I will then compare and contrast the communicable and non–communicable disease. An Examination and explanation of at least three of the factors that can affect the outcome of the treatments of the two diseases will then be produced, with comparison to the support available to those with my chosen disease compared to other communicable and non-communicable diseases.
I will then evaluate the strategies for the prevention of both of my chosen diseases. An examination and explanation will then be conducted of at least three reasons to why the strategies are not always as successful as they could be. I will also research other communicable and non-communicable diseases and include them in my assignment, describing the diseases that have the same signs and symptoms as my chosen communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Throughout my assignment I will use appropriate resources such as reports, articles, the internet and books, all of which will be related to health and social care and the diseases chosen.
