This title enables you to choose from a wide range of topics. Whatever the topic, you will need to provide a contextual discussion on welfare and policy, and the place of ‘wellbeing’. You will then need to ensure that you critically evaluate – preferably drawing on evidence – the strengths and weaknesses of any policy measures that have been taken to address your issue of choice (which must be within the field of health and social care).
A further source of critical evaluation might be from analysing competing ideological approaches to the same policy .For example, how might different political parties address the same problem? What policies might they utilise/have they utilised? Is there evidence that they were more successful?
Obvious topics are those that we will be addressing later in the module: personalisation; quality assurance; service user and carer participation/PPE; commissioning; safeguarding; interprofessional working. These are all measures that were introduced by previous government but have been built upon and extended by the present government. What is the evidence that they ‘work’ for those that they are intended for? What can you find that informs you of the motivation for their existence? That is, why have they become policy ? How do they address wellbeing?
Or you might go for an aspect of some of the ‘big’ government measures on Public Health or NHS reform (service user, funding or workforce change).
There will be many opportunities to discuss the essay throughout the semester: LRSGS, Tutorials and we can set aside some seminar time also. Please do not fret….
