disease in the United Kingdom
Several kinds of effective strategies and approaches are being used for efficient control
on the incidents of diseases in the United Kingdom (Minkler, ed., 2012). Some effectiveness of
theses strategies are as below:
3

 Provision of more community care facilities: This strategy could be effective useful for
efficient control of incident of diseases in the United Kingdom (Valente, 2010). It helps
communities to provide appropriate treatments and remedies to their diseases in the
society's people to control their health damaging level effectively within the country. This
approach also helps to effectively identify health issues of people and provide relevant
remedy and treatments to remove them and provide healthier life to communities. Public private Partnership: This is an approach which helps the people to control over
diseases increment rate in the country by associating people with public private
organisations' partnership to provide proper healthcare services effectively in the UK.
This is a sufficient option to efficient control on infectious and non-infectious diseases in
the country effectively. This is an effective method to provide appropriate healthcare
services at a large geographical areas in the country without facing any kind of big issues.
 Appoint public health consultants: This is most effective method to control incidence of
diseases in the United Kingdom efficiently. Implementation of this strategy is that health
consultant looks for people who need to health care service in order to improve their
health issues effectively (Puhl and Heuer, 2010). Needed people, appoint and public
health consultant to let community people know about to various kinds of infectious and
non-infectious diseases and their negative impact on the health as well. The government
of the UK also running much healthcare companion in terms of make communities aware
about to infectious and non-infectious diseases efficiently.
TASK 2
P 2.1 Current priorities and approaches to the provision of services for people with diseases or
sickness
In the given case of the United Kingdom country, multiple numbers of people is suffering
diseases from HIV Aids. In the current circumstances, there are following current priorities of
services for community's people in the UK who is suffering this kind of diseases: Preventions: This is first priorities of Healthcare organisation professionals in the UK to
preclude people from infected diseases in the country efficiently (Goldberg and McGee,
2011). For effectiveness of preventions, government of the UK need to decreases the
cost of proper treatments in health care organisation so each people could afford the rate
of treatment to overcome from HIV Aids and feel healthier in the life.
4

 Treatment: In this second priorities of the services provision for people of proper
treatment in the United Kingdom, this is the responsibilities of healthcare services
provider organisation to provide appropriate treatment of the latest updated innovative
equipments and techniques in their treatment process so that HIV Disease can be remove
effectively and provide appropriate quality of treatment services in the UK as well (Blas
and Kurup, eds., 2010).
 Remedial care: From this approach, a proper identification of diseases and their causes
can be done effectively and then provide appropriate remedial treatments for HIV
diseases in order to provision of services for people with their sickness in the United
Kingdom.
P 2.2 Relationship between the prevalence of disease and requirements of services to support
individuals within health and social services provision
There are major needs of prevalence disease and requirements of services to support
individual person within health and social services provision which could be understood with the
help of this example: In the United Kingdom, there are numbers of people suffering various
diseases because of different-different reasons (Barer, ed., 2017). There are several reasons
which can because of diseases, which is unhealthy diet in meal, rude lifestyle, poor routine of
daily work etc. these all are the main reasons to increment of Diabetes diseases among the people
in the UK. The Government of the UK need to keep up supportive with Diabetes disease
suffering people and provide support to overcome from this heath issues from their life. They
also need to provide appropriate remedial treatments and healthcare services in context of control
diabetes raised level effectively within the country. The government of the UK need to furnish
proper awareness of Diabetes reasons and its negative impact upon the health of people so that
people let know about to remedial activities of Diabetes to effective remove it from their life.
From the assistance of supportive system people of community could easily get inform about to
Diabetes remedial activities and treatments information. Supportive system of healthcare
organisation can conduct seminars to make people aware from Diabetes remedy and organise
comps and medical events at various regional level in the country so that each people will let
know about to remedial approaches of Diabetes and take action to remove them effectively from
the life as well. So, It could be said that there is close relationship find out between prevalence of
5

disease and requirements of services which could influenced each person in the healthcare and
social care services provision in the UK.
P 2.3 Analyse of the impact of current lifestyle choices on future needs for health and social care
services
There are several factors of current life styles of the UK country's populations which
make impact on the future necessity of health and social care organisation's services (Marmot
and Bell, 2012). This could be easily interpreted by this example: A person suffering fattiness
diagnosed in the community and by this there is certainty of hart attack problem in the future.
While this kind of disease recognised in the person, it is also founded that the person having high
cholesterol level in their body. This is because, the person is regularly having unhealthy foods
and fatty fast foods' consumption, oily food tacking and due to adoption of modern lifestyles in
his life etc. these all reasons make him more fatty and unhealthy and due to theses causes, this
disease diagnosed on him. Most of the people are being fatty in the UK country because of
selection of fatty foods and unhealthy lifestyles in their life (Braveman and Gottlieb, 2014).
These all are being cause of future needs of health and social care services at high level in order
to effectively remove them in their life by developing better service of health and social care. In
this case, it is concluded that if people in the UK adopt modern lifestyle then according to the
research they will diagnose several kinds of diseases and the health and social service
organisation need to more improve their medical treatment services in order to decrease the level
of disease in the country effectively. These activities will make negative impact on future
requirements if health and social care services.
The health care service provider need to suggest the people for selection of healthier
lifestyle in their life so that health care services can be decreased with this activity. Hence, so
selection of lifestyles of the people must be in such a way so that service requirements can be
decreased efficiently.
TASK 3
To efficient running of health and social care organisation in the UK, the major priorities of the
organisation must be to make people healthier and well-beingness in their life. To evaluate the
healthy and well-beingness priorities of each individual in the community, a joint strategy
require to implementation to better outcomes towards people lifestyles can be find out. The
6

health position of the UK country peoples could be find out on the basis of emotion, society,
diet and social status etc. on the ground of examination, the health and well-being priorities for
individuals are as below:
 Decreasing adolescent pregnancies, in which children and other being overweight in
their life.
 Minimising the numbers of individual who is in the habit of smoking, taking drugs,
alcohol etc. who need to changed their routines.
 Improve the life expectation of people in right way who is suffering the diseases of
Cancer, Diabetes, HIV etc.
 Healthcare organisation can take initiative to increase the mental and physical health of
each people in the communities and people well-beingness as well as to those persons
who can not afford healthcare services efficiently.
These all plan and priorities is formulated at regional level of the UK country and this
plan and strategy must be implemented by several private and public health and social care
organisations. With the help of prevention techniques it will help to reduce disease level within
the country and people will also aware to better address of these kinds of health issues in the life
effectively.
Several methodologies and strategies that can be developed by the UK country's government in
health and social care setting. Effectiveness is as below:

medicines and some of another
medical remedies by which

effectiveness of this approach
is that they can develop

healthier in the life.
In the UK, it has been seen that various kinds of disease are arising in the country because of
many reasons. It is required to implementation of some effective strategies and approaches in
order to better control of disease and create healthier life and well-beingness of each people in
health and social care settings within the country. Some changes are as below:
Changing in lifestyles: With help of changes
in the lifestyles of the UK country's people,
this will must positive result in order to
improvement of diseases resolution within the
country effectively. Changing in various
lifestyle aspects such as food choice, physical
activities, exercises etc. will give better result
Proving right information: Health and social
care organisations can furnish appropriate and
relevant information regarding to diseases and
their negative effect the life as well as to
overcome the issues of health from their life

on improvement of health of each person in the
community. At the initial level choice of
modern lifestyle does not give any effect but
after some time it must make negative impact
on the life of individual. They should not add
fast food and unhealthy and fatty oily food in
their meal which make negative impact on
their life. Changing in lifestyles and selection
of healthy food can give positive impact on
everyone life in the country.
knowledge of people that can make positive
impact on the county's people effectively.
From the given care study, it is find out that there are some health issues facing by people of the
UK country because of selection of unhealthier lifestyles. In terms of resolution of health issues
and improvement of future needs of healthcare an exercise concerning to planning of eating
habit can be formulated by the UK government and also provide some guideline about to some
appropriate changes in their lifestyle which can improve the quality of their health effectively.
From the implementation of this strategy people will be able to follow healthier lifestyle. The
people of the country is using unhealthy foods, rich nutritious foods and using junk food in their
daily meal which is needed to change in their lifestyles. From now, they need to follow healthy
lifestyle and healthy foods to reduce the volume of Diabetes cases, fatty and overweight cases
etc. Hence, Improvement of healthy eating meal exercises can encourage behaviour changes of
the UK country's people in order to raise the quality of life each people in health ans social care
setting.
CONCLUSION
From the above analysis, it is concluded that health and social care organisations play
vital roe in order to improvement of health of people and their well-beingness as well. There are
9

several international, national and local agencies working in the UK and London for
improvement of health of people and well-beingness of communities as well. With the assistance
