Chapter1 Introduction
Research title
The research area of this study is to examine the effect of placebo: in context of UK
healthcare.
1.1 Research Background
A placebo is a treatment which is estimated to have no inherent pharmacological benefits. It
is used for comparison of clinical studies as it could be supportive of examining the
efficiency of new clinical treatments. The placebo treatment could a sign and symptom of
improving health illness (Wilhelm, et al., 2016). In addition, it is also found that the effect of
the placebo functions as a healing in the ailment verity. It is still used as a viable treatment
option by the doctors with surprising frequency. In the UK, Psychologists and neuroscientists
are interested in the placebo treatment. Moreover, brain and body of the patient are worked
positively at the time of treatment. The research of placebo effects shows that human brain
could be influenced by this treatment (Koog, 2016). The place could impact on biological
factors of the body that could enable the patient to think positive relegating their treatment.
Placebos could be worked as a therapeutic process to treat patients but in current time it is
used to manage the clinical study and trails (Boehm, et al., 2017)
1.2 Industry background
The healthcare sector is increased in the UK due to higher demand for healthcare product and
services. The healthcare organization is practiced centric approach for attracting a large
number of patients. From the analysis of part data, it is found that health care services are
increased in the UK that would improve the economic situation of the country.
1.3 Research aim and objectives

in the context of Healthcare UK. For this, there are many objectives, which are described as
below:
 To explore meaning and concept of placebo effect: in context of UK healthcare
organization.
 To identify challenges of placebo effects: in context of UK healthcare organization.
 To recommend the approaches for improving place effect: in context of UK
healthcare organization.

 What is meaning and concept of placebo effects: in context of healthcare
organization?
 What are the factors that could affect the placebo: in context of healthcare
organization?

Introduction
It is a significant part of the study because it would consider many factors like research title,
research aim and objectives, research background, research question, and research rationale.
It will also help to create the best known in the context of research matter. The introduction
section also helps to develop an understanding of research limitation that will be faced by
research scholar during the research study (Hammami, et al., 2016). Thus, this part also
supports to obtain the reliable result in the context of research matter.
Literature Review
This section helps to identify the research concern by using numerous theories, models, and
concepts. The literature review section will enable the researcher to evaluate the data in terms
of research concern (Garcia, 2015). In this part, many journals, books, academic articles, and
magazines are considered as its support in creating theoretical knowledge about research
matter (Warwick, et al., 2015).
Research Methodology
The research methodology is supportive to identify appropriate technique for collecting data
about research matter. In this, the researcher uses numerous techniques to meet objectives of
the research. Moreover, researcher methodology entailed many techniques to collect data like
research philosophies, research strategies, research approaches, data collection methods, data
analysis methods, research limitations, sampling methods, and ethical consideration (Ghosh,
et al., 2018). It could be effective for improving validity and reliability of research result. The
research tools help the researcher to meet research aim and objectives.
Data Analysis and Findings
The data analysis part helps to determine the collected information of research. In this, it
supports researcher to separately obtain reliable information and identify them for each
research objective (Glund, et al., 2015). It also helps the researcher to organize the data

DISSERTATION 8
through effective data analysis techniques. In this, research scholar will enable the researcher
to evaluate information to consider certain methods like MS-excel software and Literature
review method. Consequently, it helps to obtain a reliable conclusion.
Conclusion and Recommendation
This is the last section of research that enables to summarize whole research as per the
research findings. It also helps to develop a link between research findings and research
objectives as it could support in attaining reliable summary. This section also discusses
strategies for solving research concern. This part is supportive to identify the practical effect
for an upcoming research study.
