Community
health

The health of the community depends on
a large number of people other than medical practitioners and nurses. These
can be grouped under the heading of allied
health professionals
. They include the following:

·        
Physiotherapists
(physios)

help people to move by getting them to do exercises or by treating their body
with heat or massage
treatment by manipulating muscles and joints with the hands.

·        
Occupational
therapists (OTs)
help people with a disability to perform tasks at
home and at work. A disability
is a physical or mental condition that makes it difficult to live normally,
for example blindness or deafness.

Social workers help people to
solve their social problems – for example poor housing or unemployment – or
family problems.

Technicians

There are numerous technicians – people
who work with scientific equipment – such as radiographers, who are known as X-ray technicians. Ambulance technicians work in
the emergency medicine service. An ambulance technician with more advanced
qualifications is called a paramedic.

C

Prosthetists
and orthotists

Prosthetists and orthotists provide care
for anyone who needs an artificial
limb
, (a prosthesis),
or a device to support or control part of the body (an orthosis). They also advise on rehabilitation – helping patients return to normal life
and work after treatment.

Prosthetists provide artificial replacements for
patients who have had an amputation
or were born without a limb.

Orthotists provide a range of splints and other devices to
aid movement, correct deformity
from an abnormal development of part of the body, for example club foot (talipes), and relieve pain.

D

Opticians

Opticians test eyesight and prescribe glasses – also known as spectacles – and contact lenses, when
necessary. The examination includes measuring intraocular pressure— the pressure of fluid inside the eye
– and examining the retina. If the optician suspects an eye disease, such as
glaucoma, they refer the patient to their GP for treatment. The GP may then
refer the patient to an ophthalmologist,
a doctor who specializes in diseases of the eye.

Marketing
ethics


Social
marketing

Social
marketing is the use of marketing techniques to convince people to
change their

behaviour for their own good or for the benefit of
society. Encouraging smokers to stop

smoking or persuading
people to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables are examples. The

aim
of social marketing is to minimize social problems such as crime or
poverty.

Corporate
social responsibility (CSR)

The
advantages for a company of being socially responsible — that is,
taking positive

actions for the benefit of its staff and
society as a whole — include enhanced brand image,

and greater
ease in attracting staff. There are different ways for a company to
show

corporate social responsibility (CSR).

  • Cause
    related marketing (CRM) is when a company donates money to a
    charity, a

    non-profit organization or a good cause, such as
    UNICEF or Oxfam. The brand is then

    associated with the
    charity. For example, a US non-profit wild cat sanctuary, Big
    Cat

    Rescue, wants to create a marketing partnership with
    another organization:


Big
Cat Rescue is looking for the right corporate
partner
for
a mutually

beneficial
cause
related marketing campaign. We need financial donations
to
be

able to afford to make our good work more effective. Today
most of this funding

comes
from private individuals. We are looking for a corporate partner
that

shares
our principles and values.


Note:
The
abbreviation CRM
also
refers to Customer Relationship Management — see Unit 23.

  • Green
    marketing is the development and distribution of eco-friendly, or
    environmentally

    friendly, goods — for example, washing powder
    that is not harmful to the environment.

6
degrees.ca is a Canadian web-based forum that promotes green
marketing and environmental

protection:


6
degrees.ca believes that if a business is behaving in an
ethical
or
moral way then

they will contribute to environmental
sustainability. Sustainable development is

development
that meets the needs of today without compromising the ability of
future

generations to meet their needs. Responsible citizens
are aware of
environmental

concerns
such
as global warming, and act to
protect
the environment.


Responsible
purchasing is another way that a company can build or maintain a
good

reputation. Companies can refuse to buy materials or goods
made using child labour

or that have been tested on animals. As
well as showing concern for human rights and

animal testing, a
company can implement a policy of sustainable purchasing and only
buy

products that come from renewable sources.
