Introduction ( approx. 200–250 words)

Do not write in 1st person in a report
2. Contemporary Public Health Issue & Wider Determinants (approx. 600–650 words) • Overview of issue: Prevalence, incidence, health and economic burden, inequalities.

• Links to LO1: Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge base of contemporary public health issues, analysing the impact of the wider determinants of health on these.
3. Current Public Health Policy & Practice (approx. 550–600 words)

• Identify relevant policies, innovations frameworks: e.g., NHS Long Term Plan, Public Health England/NHS England programmes, NICE guidelines, WHO strategies.
