Formative Assessment
Part 1:
Students are asked to write a 250 to 300 word letter in the guise of a local manager to a health
promotion specialist. It should ask for information and advice on how a health promotion project may be
conducted so to address a locally recognised need. The professional role of the manager and the locally
identified need can be decided by the student based upon the student’s own areas of interest. Ideally,
this letter should be written based upon current knowledge and attitudes; this will enable students to
question where they are now and help them to see how this module has promoted personal development.
Summative Assessment
The summative assignment is a 3,500 word formal response to the letter by the health promotion
specialist. The response should suggest a comprehensive health promotion programme specifically
designed to the address the identified need. Good rationale should be provided for all recommendations
and all advice should be based upon critical evaluation of existing literature and the evidence base.
The letter is written in the first person by the student in the role of the health promotion
specialist.
You must achieve a mark of 50% or greater to pass the module.
Introduction
As you are replying to a letter with a letter, your introduction will start with brief and pleasant
formalities (e.g. dear Sir/Madam, thank you for your letter in which you asked for my advice
regarding…..). More importantly, your introduction should tell the reader what your aims and intentions
for writing are and how you plan to structure the remaining letter (using sub-headings) so to address
the various issues and components related to the health promotion intervention you are recommending.
Main text
In this section you should provide the following:
• A critical appraisal of research literature and audit data relevant to the health promotion need
identified in the manager’s letter. This is so you can convince the manager that you are knowledgeable
of this specific topic and are aware of the many complex issues involved.
• A procession of recommendations so to ensure that any intervention:
•
o Is fully planned in advance and the plans are constructed so to meet specified goals
o Is based upon a recognised health promotion framework
o Takes into account the philosophy and practice of empowerment and change management
o Recognises how policies at the micro, meso and macro level of society need to be considered and
developed together so to promote health public policy
o Considers the duration, location, cost and delivery of the initiative
o Recognises potential barriers to success and identifies potential contingency measures
o Will be properly and effectively evaluated according to its processes, immediate impact and long-term
health gains.
Justification, based upon relevant literature, MUST be provided for everything you recommend. Remember,
you are writing to convince the manager that your advice is informed, evidence-based, rational and of
high quality. If you do not convince the manager then your advice may not be followed and, indeed, the
intervention may never occur. The markers of your assignment will be taking the role of the manager and
your final mark will be influenced by how comprehensive, inclusive and persuasive your approach has
been.
Conclusion
This is where you pleasantly end your letter by briefly reminding the manager of the importance of
planning, conducting and evaluating health promotion interventions properly. Don’t forget to end with
“Yours sincerely” but don’t then proceed to write your name. Remember, this assignment is marked
anonymously.
Reference list
A reference list would not normally be included in a letter however it is important to include one here
so the manager can see the sources of literature that you have used throughout your letter to support
and justify your recommendations. The manager may also want to access and read some of this literature
you have mentioned so please ensure that all references are correct and are presented using APA
