Introduction
The purpose of the paper, was to analyse the changes in the health and social care and the impacts on enteral feeding in the community. There have been several changes in health and social care for the last 10 years and the changes have improved service provision to meet the need of patient and that has brought about the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act, 2012 (Ono O. 2011.

According to (Nice clinical guidelines, 2006) defines the enteral feeding as the delivery of nutritionally complete feed that contains proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, water and minerals directly into the stomach. In other words, it is a method of feeding that uses gastrointestinal tract to deliver part of all caloric requirements to a person.
The development in enteral feeding in communities is driven by political and market forces, resource allocation, the need to improve patient treatment and advances in technology. People that suffer from long-term health conditions for example cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases require enteral feeding because of the complications that are related to the diseases (Gibbons, 2014). It is also used for patients that have poor nutrition and this helps improve their situation. The changes have been initiated by the fact that the number of people that require enteral services is increasing and the hospital capacity cannot be able to handle the increasing number (Ogden, 2012). To meet the needs of the increasing
MUST is a five-step screening tool designed for healthcare professionals to identify adult patients who at risk of, or are malnourished. It includes guidelines on how to develop an effective treatment plan. The Malnutrition Advisory Group (MAG) in 2000 adapted and extended their community screening tool to include care homes and hospitals, in response to national concerns. (Department of Health, 2001). In 2003 MUST was designed by MAG and the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN). It was piloted across many care settings, to target patients who may be at risk of malnutrition.
The NHS change model has been selected for this quality improvement. The NHS change model consists of eight dimensions, which are described as a useful tool to enhance change.

D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.

What does ‘care’ mean? Care is the provision of what is necessary for your health, welfare and protection of someone or something. However when you talk about ‘care’ in a care practice the term changes and becomes more about enabling people to meet all their needs which would refer to their social, physical, emotional, cognitive and cultural needs. The individual is central to the meaning of care in this context.

Overtime, sociology has played an essential role in the aid of healthcare policies and procedures, along with playing a fundamental role in one’s understanding of health inequalities. This paper explores how sociology has played such a role in healthcare, whilst including discussions regarding the influence of social structures and inequalities in the health of an individual, their family and community, with the topic of health variations between social classes being the main focus of the discussion. A structured overview, review and evaluation of a specific health policy in the UK will also be provided within this paper. Sociology in healthcare.

Social determinants of health has been a large topic for many years and can have a positive and negative effect on individuals, families and communities. (World Health Organisation, 2009) The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels, which are themselves influenced by policy choices. Social determinants have many factors and in this essay education will be the main social determinant of health discussed and how this could have an impact on the physical and mental sides of health.

Application in the real world: Save the Children being the leading independent non-governmental organization has the mission to inspire successes in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and sustain lasting change. Even though complementary feeding is a global practice, the practice differs between individuals, socioeconomic class and cultures.
