Overview
There are 2 sections to the report:
Undertake a virtual research tour of your local health, social services, and health services to identify one key public health concern. Discuss what the data suggests about public health needs and implications for healthcare locally. Compare this to national and worldwide statistics.  Identify key inequalities and barriers within this area that may impact on healthcare.
With focus on the public health concern that you have identified discuss and highlight the health services, charities, screening and role of the nurse in this area

Guidance to undertake the essay
1. Introduction: (300 words)
Briefly highlight what the report is about, the reason for the report, the locality you are discussing and the local public health concern you have chosen to identify specific healthcare services and review the role of the nurse in promoting health in this area.

2) Undertake a virtual research tour of your local health, social services, and health services to identify key areas of public health concern. (600 words)
a) Choosing a locality: (100 words)

Choose one area or locality
The local area you study in this area should be:
Somewhere that interests you and/or which you are familiar with (placement area or local home area)
One which you can use published data to inform a discussion about social and health care needs in that area
Detail your choice of area.
NB: It would be better to pick a county as your locality because you are more likely to get reliable data (If data collection is not at 90% of the population it will not be recorded in the figures and merely be left blank).
