Assessment Description
This assignment requires you to create a 5-10-minute audio recording that tells the story of a family. The transcript of your recording including references is to be submitted with your audio file for text-matching purposes.
You will develop your audio recording as a speech to present to a fictional group of senior leaders of the Department of Health, who are meeting to consider the health budget and resourcing needed for the year ahead. Your speech has been given a timeslot in their meeting, providing you with a brief opportunity to highlight the role of primary care and the impact of social determinants on family health and wellbeing.
You will do this by reflecting on the story and experiences of a family that you have worked with while on clinical placement or have become aware of in the community.You can use a real family story that has been de-identified or a fictional family story. Your chosen family can be in a rural or urban setting. If you use AI to develop your family story,

The family story you use in this assessment will also inform Assessment 3 - please see Assessment 3.
Your speech should integrate the key concepts and principles of social justice, and the relationship of identity, family, culture, and environment on health outcomes. Strengths-based approaches and child and family-centred nursing principles need to be incorporated throughout. The health systems and resources that endorse primary care concepts and promote family flourishing specific to your chosen family need to be demonstrated. Use contemporary evidence that is sourced from the reading list to support your narrative.
