Introduction:
The main aim of this research project is to have the understandings of the appropriate tools
techniques used in the health and social care practice for the beginners and the learners. In this
context, the health and social care practice followed in the Park Royal Hospital will be discussed.
Moreover, the entire scenario of the health care practice in UK will also be highlighted in this
entire context. With the help of the entire applied health care practice and the policies
implemented by the local government will give the learner the exact idea of the condition and the
potential of the entire health care sector in UK. The Park Royal Hospital is one of the best health
care organizations in Australia, which is providing quality service to the local people and has
managed to gain enough goodwill for the organization (Edwards et al., 2015). Hence, this entire
study is going to discuss the health care issues faced by the local people and the corresponding
service provide by the organization in Australia.

Chapter 1: Research Proposal and Short Literature Review
LO1 Understand how to formulate a research specification
1.1 Formulates and record possible research project outline specifications.
The entire scenario of the health care condition in Australia and the case is collaborated with the
related health care practice followed by the park Royal Hospital. In this scenario, the learning
ability is related with those people who need the optimum level of the care. Therefore,
remembering all this factors, the health care practice that is in practice for longer times in the
healthcare organization is the most vital requirements in this module. The long-term disabilities
included with proper the diabetes, cancer, cardiac daises and mental illnesses (Carrier, 2015).
Hence, it has been justified that while all the necessary factors has been taken into consideration
by the park Royal hospital is the main viewpoints of this module. Hence, the main query to
which is going to be solved in this module is to judge the metal condition of the people
victimized with the long term diseases along with the factors that help to improve the condition
of those peoples life (Harrison et al., 2017). Apart from this, the condition of the living of the
people with the long-term diseases and the required strategies taken by the health care
organization is the main consideration in this study.
It has been justified by various researches; there is huge change in mental condition in the people
suffering from the long-term basis illness. Talking into consideration of the outcomes of the
diseases most of the people loses control over their mind and behaves improperly. Eventually,
the treatment implemented for the particular person does not give the expected result. Therefore,
the health care executives in the health care organization have come up with proper treatment
process based on which the patients gets the desired satisfaction and their mental condition is
improved. Specifically, the health care executives in the Park Royal Hospital have made a
planning for the patients by judging their mental condition of the patients with long-term
conditions. This is the preliminary stage of the diagnosis process, which gives the health care
executives a firm observation of the mental condition of the patients.

1.2 Identify the factors that contribute to the process of research project selection.
Several factors are directly related in the case of the research project selection. According to
several researchers, the research project selection implies the process of selecting the task
required to be completed in the tasks and to judge the factors according to its priority and the
necessity in the project. In some cases, the research project is based on ideas and the brief
description of the projects. After this stage, the project managers need to identify the key
elements required to fulfill those tasks in the research project. In this scenario, the mental health
of the patients suffering from the long-term disease is the key concerns for the project in order to
have the successful implication of the treatment for the patients (Ma Chan & Carruthers, 2014).
The health care sectors in Australia are highly influence by the implemented strategies by both
the government officials and the health care executives in order to achieve the desired
sustainability stage in the health care organizations. Depending upon the strategies and the
normal functionalities of the Park Royal health care centre, the condition of the treatment process
in Australia can be identified. Therefore, the main motto behind this research projects selection is
to emphasize on the actual condition of the health care sectors in the Australia and the
corresponding steps followed by the medical experts to overcome the issues faced by the victims.
Selection of the project is entirely based on following two factors:
Benefits:
This the actual measure of the optimistic outcomes of the research project. Most of the time, it
has been seen that while selecting the project, several factors are taken into consideration based
on assumption of the project manager. This factor is helpful in order to have the justification of
the question why the research project has been undertaken. The benefits of the research project
selection are further classified with these following factors:
Biodiversity:
This term is entirely dependent upon the justification behind selecting the project. It has been
seen that the health care sectors is one of the prime concern for the government and for the
country. In this context, the long-term diseases related has affected the mental stability of the
patients that has a diverse effect upon the diagnosing and the corresponding treatments process
of the patients.

Economical aspects:
The economical stability of a particular country is dependent on the amount invested by the
government in the public and in the health care sectors of the country. While the health care
sector is facing tremendous challenges to overcome the issues of the long-term patients, the
investments in the health care sector need to be increased that influences the economical stability
of the country. Therefore, it is the prime consideration of the health care executives to have the
proper justification of the strategies followed by the medical experts to overcome the issues
faced by them.
Feasibility:
Feasibility of a project is related with the process of the measurements of the entire project and
to judge the entire process of the risk and the complexity involved in the research project.
However, while judging the feasibility of the selecting the project indicates the successful
outcomes and the chances of successfully achieving the desired target in the research project.
1.3 Undertake a critical review of key references.
The physical disability gives rise to several factors that affects directly upon the mental condition
of the patient. According to the research project published by the world health Organization
(WHO), the physical disability is the malfunction of the body organs’ and the limitation in the
normal activity of the body organs. Eventually, the persons fail to communicate properly with
rest of the world and to live naturally among people. From this points, the mental disorder and
arises that seemed to be abnormal for the people around the victim. This is the main cause behind
the mental disorder to people. Several factors need to be taken into consideration by the medical
experts of the Park Royal hospital so that they can develop the most appropriate strategies for
treating those victims. However, the absurd physical condition of the people is one of the critical
challenges for those people. Hence, the key responsibility of the medical experts of the Park
Royal Hospital need to monitor the overall condition of those disabled people to live their lives
(Crichton et al., 2016). This process is also helpful in order to understand the key factors that
influence the life style of the disabled people. In this process, the patients will get a chance to
improve their physical and mental condition of those victims. However, further research is
