INTRODUCTION
Nursing healthcare is used for prevention of illness and injuries for patients in the
healthcare corporation. It also helps the medical victims to provide appropriate treatment by

selected patients service innovation.
Theory
History of national heath policies
National services act was created by 1946 after second world war to manage the health
care activities in the United Kingdom (Dixon-Woods and et.al., 2013). It is directly handled by

care within a health care system (Entwistle and et.al., 2012). It plays important role for heath and
social corporations and government of UK to improve its healthcare quality and service.

 They focus on research and development for new innovations.
 They also emphasize the risks and management of information for innovation of Patient
service innovation.
Background
My chosen field is obesity which is described as follows. Generally, obesity is not
diseases but it creates various type of diseases like diabetes and health attack which create
complexities for people (Aveling and et.al., 2012).
Scope
There are many scopes to improve obesity issues in various areas of United Kingdom.

Scale of problems in the UK

From the above table, it represents issues in Men and women due to obesity as per data
of 2011 in the United Kingdom. In addition to this, it describes risk factors which are described
in the table. This process contribute effective role for Care UK corporation to decrease its
complexities by finding out new ways. Generally, these type of data are collected by using body
mass index which provides appropriate reliability to understand obesity issues (Tackling Obesity.
2014).
Patient service innovation technique
For this process, management of care UK can follow Obesity care Pathways as effective
approach. This process can help the corporation to reduce these kind of issues in the various
areas of United Kingdom.

(Source:Tackling Obesity. 2014)

As per above the diagram, this approach is divided in four parts to decrease obesity issues
in the different areas.
Tier 4
This phase includes the Morbid Obesity Service with help of Bariatric Surgery. So this
patient innovation technique can help the Care UK to reduce these types of complexities.
Tier 3
In this process, people can get non surgical weight management to reduce the obesity
issues in appropriate manner (Al-Abri and Al-Balushi, 2014).
Tier 2

people.
Tier 1
It is earlier stage in which Body mass index is greater than 25. Due to this reasons,
weight of people are increased very rapidly (Nicolay and et.al., 2012). These individuals can be
