health and social care setting
P4 – Explain the contribution of concepts of health, ill health and disability to service provision in a local health and social care setting.
M2 – Analyse how the biomedical and an alternative model of health and concepts of health, ill health and disability affect service provision in a local health and social care setting.
- What are concepts of health, ill-health and disability?
- Define health, including World Health Organization (WHO) positive and negative definition of health. What is the holistic approach?
- Why are physical and mental ill health and disability seen as social and biological constructs?
- What is medicalisation? The sick role? The clinical iceberg? Fine statistics to back up these concepts!
For the second part of P4, you need to pick ONE local health care provider and ONE Social care provider OR find a local service that provides both (e.g., Hospices) to write about.
Health care provider: e.g., Royal London Hospital
- How does the Royal London hospital support these concepts and models?
- Explain how the Royal London hospital might use a Bio-medical approach and a Social approach for their provision? How will this impact the types of services that they provide? (M2)
- How might concepts of health, ill health and disability affect the type of services patients receive. Positively and negatively e.g., the sick role –doctors might rush to get patients back to good health à might mean misdiagnosis or inadequate care. (M2)
- FIND STATTISTICS TO BACK UP YOUR POINTS!
Social Care provider: e.g., Silk Court Care Home
- How does the Silk Court Care Home support these concepts and models?
- Explain how the care home might use a Bio-medical approach and a Social Approach for their provision? How will this impact the types of services that they provide? (M2)
- How might concepts of health, ill health and disability affect the type of services that residents receive? Positively/negatively.
- FIND STATTISTICS TO BACK UP YOUR POINTS!
D1 – Evaluate the role of sociological perspectives in the understanding of society and models and concepts of health in relation to service provision in a local health and social care setting.
- How accurate are the perspectives in helping us understand society? Justify this with a reasoned argument. You must use research to justify the accuracy of the perspectives (go back to your M1)
- How useful are the health models and concepts of health in providing health and social care within your chosen HSC settings?
- Evaluate the concepts of health, ill-health and disability.
- Use research and statistics throughout.
