Context
This assessment introduces the concepts of primary healthcare and community nursing from a personal viewpoint.
As a student, you are asked to reflect on attitudes, beliefs and values; and relate these to ethics and professional behaviour as a future health professional.

Health professionals need to develop their capacity for empathy and understanding of the lived experience of vulnerable population groups as well as pathways for treatment and possible barriers to accessing these.
