Write an open letter to an identified individual who has appropriate responsibility for an area of nursing care/healthcare in the NHS UK.
The letter should set out an argument for a change with direct relevance to nursing care. You must consider service user points of view and you should demonstrate the following -
ILO 1. Appraise philosophical, and ethical values, historical, methodological and political factors that inform the basis of nursing across all fields.
ILO 2. Discuss and analyse the use of humanising frameworks as a value base and theory to guide practice and research.
ILO 3. Discuss and evaluate processes and factors that contribute to a person’s experience of feeling vulnerable and those that support empowerment, by exploring lived experiences of service users and health care workers to recognise excellence in practice and to propose improvements to nursing care.
ILO 4. Evaluate the process of maintaining personal and professional accountability when collaborating with service users, their families and carers and health care professionals.

Example essay of my recommendation (needs improving)
I want to improve dementia care in the acute hospital setting. This can be achieved by providing person centred care. Many factors need to change to make person centred care available, this needs to be understood by everyone in the Trust, including management.
Recommending the opening of a specialist dementia care unit for these changes to take place.
The example essay about cooling the hospitals is a top mark essay, the dementia example is not high marking but my topic area.
