What is Health?
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. There are three clearly identifiable aspects to health: psychological, physical and chemical.
Diagnostic services cover a range of health conditions. Some may be
concerned with monitoring or preventative medicine e.g. blood tests,
mammograms, bowel screening. Others may be concerned with establishing
the extent of problems e.g. radiography.
Leisure services for general wellbeing include a broad range of
industries and positions, such as restaurants, parks, playgrounds,
tourist centres, entertainment centres, sporting facilities, and so on.
Really, it can be anywhere where people actively spend time with a view
to relaxation and enoyment.
Medical services for wellbeing include those provided through hospitals
and clinics and can include alternative therapies as well as mainstream
ones. Roles can include doctors, dentists, nurses, and a wide range of
specialty services.
Nutritional disorders may be acute or chronic conditions that affect the
lives of many people. They include intolerance and sensitivities to
certain foods or by-products and can be genetic or acquired conditions.
Various specialists may be involved in work in this sector including
psychologists and dieticians.
