ICT skills in order to investigate, process and interpret information in the course of conducting
research.

Assignment 2: (Project)
Project Background
The rapidly growing population of elders confronts Europe with a double demographic
challenge. Thus, the ageing population’s need for healthcare services increases at the same
time as access to workforce declines. Considering the current ageing population, the needs
for care, at some point, may surpass the available workforce. These changes have profound
implications for each of us, as well as for government, business and civil society. The collated
data (given under Appendix A) shows the Mid-year population estimates of very old
(including centenarians) persons in England and Wales.
Assignment Task
Carry out research on the implication of growing age on Health Care Services using the secondary
data supplied with this brief. You should develop relevant research questions and provide a
brief literature review on the topic. Your research should demonstrate the use of ICT skills
such as searching and storing of information, use of appropriate ICT software and tools,
awareness of information security and privacy. The data should be analysed using appropriate
numerical and statistical techniques, such as quantitative variables, ratios and percentages;
frequency distribution, mean, mode, median and standard deviation. You should be able to
correctly interpret the research findings and present the results using several methods such
as tables, charts, graphs and textual form communicated in an academic style. Based on your
findings, you should be able to make meaningful recommendations and link the findings with
the full impact in light of the decline in the workforce. Your report should provide a full
Harvard referencing of all the sources you use and a bibliography.
Marks will be broadly allotted as follows

1. Demonstration of the use of selected ICT techniques when carrying out the research
[20 Marks]
2. Identification and application of the relevant numerical techniques to analyse the
given data
[40 Marks]
3. Choosing and presenting the results in an appropriate format, using textual, table or
figures. Interpreting the result and using relevant supplementary academic resources
to discuss and analyse the findings with conclusion and recommendation based on the
findings.
[40 Marks]

Completing the tasks

In order to complete the Assignments 1 and 2, you will need to research different information
sources such as textbooks, journals, articles and the internet. You are also required to develop
skills in the analysis of information. Analysis requires you to critically examine different
aspects of a topic and identify relevant issues. Discussions with your peers and friends will
also help you to understand the relevant data analysis and presentation techniques that can
be applied to different perspectives of the collated data provided.
Please Note: Make use of information on assignment preparation and command verb usage
in your Moodle Platform.

Referencing your work

References to relevant academic theory and research findings should be provided and cited
appropriately using the Harvard system of referencing. Example of this referencing style is as
follows:
Sillah, D. (2007). 'Screening of TB in the Gambia'. Journal of Epidemiology, 1 (2), pp.34-56
Author/s name and initials are listed first, followed by the year of publication in brackets. Then
there is the title of the article and the journal where the article appears, which is in italics.
Finally, state the volume and issue number (in brackets) along with the pages where the article
can be located. Include at least two in-text citations and references in each assessment
criterion. Further information on the Harvard System of referencing is on your Moodle
Platform.
Note: Do not use Wikipedia as a source of reference.

Academic Malpractice
You are required to independently work on the tasks when preparing this assignment, and
you are reminded of the need to avoid the risk (intentionally or unintentionally) of committing
academic malpractice. In particular, presenting another learner’s work as yours or taking
information from any sources without correctly acknowledging the source can constitute
academic malpractice. You are expected to submit your work using the Turnitin software that
is provided by the school. Please note that your work may be subject to penalties and/or
cancellation if academic malpractice has taken place. The Turnitin similarity report can
highlight where academic sources have not been referenced appropriately/effectively, and
this could result in a concern being highlighted around possible plagiarism (one form of
academic malpractice where sources have been used without proper acknowledgement).
Make sure you read over your work carefully and ensure that all sources of information have

7
been acknowledged to avoid any untoward investigations that would result in a delay in your
achievement of the module. Further information on academic malpractice (including
plagiarism) and potential consequences are available in your student handbooks.

Presentation
Present a document with a word count of 1000 words (+/- 10%) (Assignment 1) and 2000
words (+/- 10%) (Assignment 2) excluding references, bibliography, images, diagrams, table
and appendices. The word count should be stated in the assignment cover sheet and please
note you will be penalised for exceeding the word limit. Work must be submitted in a folder,
word-processed in a suitable format of 12-point font, 1.5-line spacing and pages numbered.

Submission

When submitting your assignment, you must include:

 An Assignment Submission Sheet/ Assignment Front Cover
 Other documents required by your lecturer as evidence of achievement.
 All assignments should be submitted via Turnitin

Submission deadlines must be strictly observed. Therefore, disciplined time management is

essential when producing this assignment. Failure to meet deadlines will be considered as a
failure by non-submission. You will only have the opportunity for one resubmission of a
different assignment. Refer to the Student Handbook for more information

Notes:
1. The method used to produce the estimates updates the back years so figures for previous
years are revised each time estimates are produced for the latest year. This is why the figures
are labelled as provisional.
2. Please note these figures are estimates. Although they are rounded to the nearest ten
people, they cannot be guaranteed to be precise even to that level of detail.
3. Figures may not add due to rounding.
