Critical Analysis of SDG 3: Evaluating Health, Wellbeing, and Sustainable Development Policies

BMHP6030 Health, Wellbeing and Sustainable Development

Upon the successful completion of this module, the student should be able to:

• Critically examine the ubiquitous nature of health, wellbeing and sustainable development within present health and care sectors
• Analyse secondary data and provide recommendations for improvement to current Health, Wellbeing and Sustainable Development policies and initiatives on a local, and national level.

In this 2000-word (+/-10%) report you should critically examine current health, wellbeing, and sustainability policies and initiatives that impact citizens on a global, national and local level. Your critical perspective will bring to light the real-world consequences of these frameworks on everyday lives. Within this report you will be conducting the following:

• Analysis of how Sustainable Development (SDG) Goal 3 ‘Good Health and Wellbeing’ and another SDG of your choice impacts the health and wellbeing of citizens. Selecting a second SDG that intersects with health, such as SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) or SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), will allow for a more nuanced and comprehensive analysis.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of national and local health, wellbeing and sustainable development initiatives and present recommendations for improvements. Your recommendations should be evidence-based, practical, and clearly linked to the weaknesses you identified in your evaluation.
