The NHS is a UK organization that aims to promote healthier habits in young people from ages 16-19 to prevent future health issues. Their "Better Health" campaign provides apps and resources to help people quit smoking, reduce binge drinking, and improve mental health and lifestyle habits. The campaign recognizes that many across the UK struggle with health issues like obesity and eating disorders, so it works to educate and support healthier choices.
The Chief Medical Officer for England, Sir Liam Donaldson, has published guidance on young people's use of alcohol. This presentation sets out some of the points he makes.

Tobacco and alcohol use are a personal choice, but they have a foundation in the societal aspect as well. Social norms are what contribute to every persons eventual choices and behavior based on what others have set out for a pattern of acceptability in society. Therefore, if we are to change these habits, we must first look at how our society plays a roll and re-create the narrative for the future. The Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Preventing Nicotine Addiction in Children and Youths states that standards set by society define the boundaries of behavior. (Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Preventing Nicotine Addiction in Children and Youths, 1994). If a person at a young age is seeing alcohol consumption and/or smoking as something that is accepted by friends and family, or movies are portraying actors as heroes that smoke it's certainly noticed and accepted. Just encouraging smoking cessation or helping to stop others from drinking is only part of the solution. There is an underlying pervasiveness to these addictions that needs to be uprooted. It is not just the addiction itself that is a problem because a lot of the time one will replace another. The cultural acceptance and advocacy for such behavior needs to be stopped. The public funding of these issues is largely where the problem is based. Lobbying and other special interests that want to control and manipulate individual behaviors are at the center of this issue. If you are looking at alcohol consumption for example, it is glorified in the media and set forth in mass-marketing droves. Children and adults alike view it as something used to celebrate and have fun. Smoking and alcohol consumption is something that goes hand in hand when some people are socializing. Shiffmans study reveals that 19% of cigarettes were smoked when drinking alcohol and 29% when participants were socializing. (Schiffman, 2009). In order to lessen the effects of alcohol consumption and smoking in our society, we must first stop allowing big tobacco companies and alcohol producers to target our children and people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds. Even though there has been campaigns to stop children and others from smoking or drinking, it has not been enough. We must all take part in these responsibilities so that we can create a healthier more productive society for each other.

When it comes to smoking and excessive drinking, the effects can be seen all throughout society, so shouldn't society play a part in helping end these horrible addictions. I will agree in saying that the end result of quitting is the individual and only the individuals responsibility. Society cannot force a person to quit, but it can help lead the individual to that decision.
Several communities, in accordance to state laws, have now banned smoking in all public places including bars and restaurants. In the article

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Knee anatomy and clinical tests 2024.pdfvimalpl1234
This includes all relevant anatomy and clinical tests compiled from standard textbooks, Campbell,netter etc..It is comprehensive and best suited for orthopaedicians and orthopaedic residents.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. Client
Research
The NHS is a company that is trying to help the whole of the UK get into healthy habits at a young age,
instead of getting into older age and only then start getting healthy habits which is good. However, not good
enough, compared to starting earlier. The benefits of starting to be healthier at a younger age you will be
less likely to run into any health issues compared to when you're older for example, not being able to breath
properly, obesity and heath conditions
The NHS ultimately want the best for your health so you don’t have to pay to get better, when you can have
a healthier lifestyle naturally. They are wanting this because there is a wide range of people being
unhealthy all over the UK, for example there is obese and anorexic people who don’t take any action for
their health. So, the NHS are trying to help people with these problems
3. What ill be working on is a project for the NHS aimed to change 16- to
19-year-old. I'm doing this to promote a healthier lifestyle towards
younger people and showing the positive impacts of this to potentially
changing their lives and lifestyle
Ill be showing the impacts of healthier life's styles and preventing the
usage of smoking and vapes
4. Better health is an NHS campaign that is something to present to
people how they should start getting healthy and prevent people
smoking and vaping to hopefully getting them to quit. Furthermore, the
same scenario with drinking, they are wanting to help people stop binge
drinking and help them stop.
The better health campaign also provides multiple things to help such
as apps and ideas to help you gain healthy habits, for example The
NHS weight loss plan, food scanner and the active 10 app.
Furthermore, these apps and recourses provide professional advice an
example, being days off being active and resting days for your body to
fully recover
NHS's Better Health also provides a 'Mind Matters' link that
has things such as supported topics around mental health
improvement and also provides things which can potentially
help you, like problem solving, tracking your worries and
getting back at life's challenges. Furthermore, it's not just
written statements its videos that help you understand
visually and verbally in the video for anyone to understand.
They also possess things such as getting a Free Mind Plan to
help you deal with stress, anxiety, boosting your mood and
overall helping you get a better sleep and feeling more in
control. Furthermore, they also include anxiety easing emails
to help you deal with it in daily routine.
5. Who are the NHS: The NHS is a company that supports everyone in
any way they need possible. They are an organization of different roles
in very wide rage & specific role possible, this so they can help everyone
they can and help solve all their issues.
The Ideas / values of the NHS: The NHS can give you anything they
can to help you, for example they offer how to get a GP, (to register with
a local one and how to book it too) Prescriptions and Pharmacies,
Hospitals, Mental Health Service and Visiting or moving to England.
6. I've chosen to do drinking because it's a lot more accessible than people think, with this I believe it's best to talk about
especially with my target audience being in the range of 12- to 20-year-olds. I'm wanting to be able to make it aware that
it's not good for teens to be drinking at a young age especially and some teens ask people to go in shops for them and they
actually do it and it's really bad and should feel guilty.
Google stated: about one in sixth 13 year old grade students (15%), 31% of 15 year olds and 52% of twelfth graders report
they consumed alcohol in the past year. From 2021 to 2022, annual alcohol consumption among 12th graders (17 year olds)
increased significantly 12% proportionally from 47% to 52%.
Our client the NHS also have a prevention drinking app
called "Drink Free Days" to help anyone who suffers from
drinking too much, they also have options to do instead of
drinking like little steps towards making it to not
drinking
Local corner shops and supermarkets have
now got updated the legal age of been able to
buy drinks in their stores up 21 so you can
longer just get it when you are 18 because your
body still hasn’t fully developed in building
itself and drinking can and will halter and ruin
it and could potentially cause damage to your
body
7. My target audience is from the ages of between 15 to 20 years old and im going to be looking into how and
what they do with drinking and to see how significantly bad it actually is.
In 2019, 29% of teen ages just drank alcohol this would have mainly been through social gatherings and
party's and 14% of teen ages binge drank. Furthermore, 9% of an age range of 12 to 20 year olds binge drank
within 30 days of the year
With these facts this will dramatically change youths lives through their attitude, education and
their production in schoolwork and their own interests. With this can also lead to early unwanted
pregnancies and suicides
8. Change 4 Life
Change4Life is the Government initiative that aims to improve diet
and fitness levels amongst the UK population. The campaign is
supported by the Department of Health and intends to target the
growing problem of obesity in a very hands-on, positive way, by
instilling healthy eating and exercise habits into people from a young
age.
They also have a calorie counting links to help you plan and to help
you lose weight in an efficient matter.
Catch It, Bin It, Kill it was a movement
to spread the awareness of the pandemic
during 2020 and 2021 to make people
more hygienic and get them to be cleaner
and help prevent lives get taken from
said disease too. This has been a more
recent movement towards awareness.
Catch It. Bin It. Kill It

In this advertisement it shows two students just looking at each other but the more
we as the viewer watch we start to see a story where this girl starts to get flash backs
drinking at a house party. These students don’t really look older than 14 to 15 so this
shows how easily accessible it is to get alcohol at a young age.
The further we watch we see that she gets more flash backs the more people she
passes, and this also shows it has an impact on your brain drastically, meaning that
it could lead to a lack of concentration in classes and education.
Finally, we watch till near the end we see that before both students pass there is a
flash back to her being sick and the male student watches, then coming back to the
present and then goes to humiliate her. Drinking at an age like this is more than
likely to happen where people will make fun of you for stuff you’ve done while drunk
and can lead to being bullied, losing friends and ruining your reputation.
The words "Think About It" are quite bold, in the sense that its target audience is in
the same category as mine, which is 12- to 20-year-olds. With using them words and
this advert its showing that there is consequences to what happens when you are
drunk and that you can be humiliated for doing something as simple as being sick,
but not just that, your appearance and potentially losing friends through arguments
over drinking. "Think About It" is really showing that should you really be wasting
your time and health drinking.
