Department of Health
Every nation has a department of health tasked with monitoring the health of its people and advising
policymakers on the highest calibre of medical care. Using up-to-date information from regional, national, or
international organisations, this is accomplished. The primary government agency in England responsible
for monitoring reports and collecting evidence of disease and illness is the Department of Health. It gives
guidance to the government on how to design and finance health care

being.

government and health services for heart and circulatory disease research and treatment. In our ideal
world, people would not be afraid about heart or circulation illnesses.
Pressure Groups: Age UK
With the motto "ageing is not an illness, but it can be challenging," its goal is to support individuals in
enjoying later life. The main charity serving the over sixty is called Age UK, and it offers local and national
services and assistance to senior citizens.
It strives to convince the government about health and care improvements that may be done for this age
group and routinely performs research into the health of those over sixty.
Because policy and research could improve the lives of older people, they play a significant role in Age
UK's work. By performing sociological and economic analyses, creating recommendations for public policy,
and influencing policy agendas across a broad spectrum of topics, we aim to sway decision-makers.
Due to policy and the fact that we assist millions of individuals in understanding their rights and choosing

NICE is an organisational entity that implements health and social care quality enhancements. It keeps an
eye on the groups and processes pertaining to British health challenges. To protect service users, NICE
evaluates evidence-based guidelines and establishes criteria to guarantee that all health authorities,
nonprofit organizations, and private practitioners adhere to the most recent and best practices for every
given health issue. Among NICE's evidence-based recommendations are the following:
cancer care recommendations
Clinical recommendations
Medicine practice recommendations

Safe staffing protocols
Social care policy
NICE Public Health Guidance makes recommendations for populations and individuals on activities,
policies and strategies that can help prevent disease or improve health.
