FPH201 Cultural safety and respectful practice visual tool-Digital Poster

Assessment Task

Based on the health issue selected in Assessment 2 report, create a digital poster on cultural safety and respectful practice that is directed towards an audience of health professionals in the health promotion and/or health care disciplines. Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context

Improving the health status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia is a longstanding challenge for health services and governments in Australia. While there have been improvements on some measures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health status, they have not matched the rapid health gains made in the general population in Australia.

The inequality in health status experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is linked to systemic discrimination. This has been identified as a human rights concern by United Nations committees and acknowledged as such by Australian governments. This assessment will advance your evidence evaluation, critical analysis and visual presentation skills which may be transferable to poster development and delivery in the professional context. Designing and delivering posters also develop competency in advocacy for health problems.

Instructions

1. Create a digital poster on the health issue selected for the Assessment 2 report, directed towards an audience of health professionals in the health promotion and/or health care disciplines.

2. You are required to clearly define who is the chosen health professional audience in your poster. This could be a health promoter, public health professional, nurse, clinical health practitioner or similar.

3. The focus of this poster is to inform the chosen health professional’s decision making, actions, and best practice when promoting health and/or delivering health care for their community members that relates to a specific health condition

4. The digital poster needs to address the following points:

• Identify and discuss the implications for your chosen health professional’s decision making and actions for their community members who are at risk of or have the specific health issue.

• Make recommendations for best practice to respond to their community members’ needs as they relate to the specific health issue.

• Promote cultural awareness and respectful practice in day to day health provision and outcomes.

5. Please refer to the attached FPH201_Assessment 3_Poster Guidelines.pdf for more information about how to create a poster.
