Community Health Centre Services - Case Study - Nursing Assignment Help

ASSIGNMENT TASK:

The Assessment task:

You have recently started a new nursing role at a community health centre in your local suburb,town or city (where you currently live as a student). The community health centre has recentlyreceived a grant of $100,000 to provide a health promotion program that addresses the local healthneeds of the community at the commencement of 2021.

Part of your nursing role will be to provide this health promotion activity to your local community;however, you do not yet know the current health needs in your community. To identify the specifichealth issues in your community for next year’s health promotion program (NURBN2009), your manager (the lecturer), has asked you to undertake a review of the local suburb, town or city inorder to understand the complex elements that contribute to the health status within the area, andthen develop a report of what you have found. There may not be a lot of information available aboutyour community, so you may also need to examine your Local Government Area (LGA).

Under normal circumstances, your manager would ask you to visit the suburb, town or city in order to conduct a field study of the various elements that impact health; however, this can take a lot oftime and resources. Further, given the current COVID-19 situation, the manager has asked you to perform a “Desktop Audit” and then  develop a Community Profile Report. This approach is not ideal;however, it is sometimes necessary when resources and time are limited or there is a risk to your
own health or the health of others.

The manager has given you a report form to complete in three (3) months’ time. You will investigateyour community via your computer and report on the twelve (12) elements (which are in 4 groups)outlined in the report template (below). In addition, you must identify at least three (3) health issues from your findings, which the financial grant could be used to address.

Peer Review report

The peer review must be completed by up to two (2) other nursing students who are also in theNURBN1004 course. The peer review of your work is important to make sure you are on the righttrack. Also, by peer reviewing the work of others, you can identify areas you need to improve in yourown work. It is expected that peer reviewers show each other courtesy and respect. You areexpected to review at least one (1) other student’s work.
