ASSIGNMENT CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION :

Edinburgh Trams is a tramway in Edinburgh, Scotland, operated by Transport for Edinburgh. It is a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) line between York Place in New Town and Edinburgh Airport, with 15 stops.
Construction began in June 2008, but after encountering a number of delays it did not open until 31 May 2014. The scheme had an initial estimated cost of £375 million in 2003, but by May 2008, when contracts were signed, the cost had risen to £521 million. After extra interest payments are factored in, the final cost is expected to top £1 billion.

Assignment Brief :
The Dundee City Council who is seeking to develop a tram system of its own has recently appointed you. They have concerns over the problems that Edinburgh had with their tram project. Your assignment is to write a report on the prospective Dundee tram system as a project – considering what is likely to go well and what not so well. Your report should therefore focus on the project management aspects including the key risks e.g. loss of money and overrunning its schedule and not meeting the performance requirements expected from a infrastructure project of this type.

Produce a detailed business case and project plan, and any recommendations to Dundee City Council Project Board that you consider appropriate.
You need to use those sub-headings below and add more.

Application: Patient Education on Stroke Prevention

A stroke is a serious disorder that impacts patients quickly, requiring immediate intervention and treatment. Due to implications of this disorder, patient education is essential for patient populations at an increased risk of stroke. According to the National Stroke Association, up to 80% of strokes can be prevented in patients (National Stroke Association, 2012). For this reason, it is essential that you provide patients with the education and tools necessary to reduce their risk as well as identify signs and symptoms of strokes. In this Assignment, you have the opportunity to give back to your practicum site by creating media to educate patients about stroke prevention. When designing patient education media such as flyers, posters, and music, it is important to consider strategies that meet the needs of the patient population you treat at your practicum site.

Note: This Assignment is the focus of the week’s Discussion and should be completed and ready to post by Day 4.

To prepare:
•Review the stroke prevention articles in this week’s Learning Resources.
•Reflect on common lifestyle, behavioral, and cultural choices of the population that you treat within your practicum setting. Consider stroke prevention methods for this population.
•Think about ways to educate patients on these prevention methods. Consider educational pieces such as flyers, posters, or other media that might be most effective with your patient population.

To complete:

Design a media piece to educate patients on stroke prevention. You may create a flyer, poster, or any other media that is suitable for your patient population.

Which mode of ethical reflection do you think provides the most useful way to reflect on a moral dilemma and why?

Which view (humans as unequal or humans as equal) do you think best describes human nature? Why? And, which philosopher(s) do you think provide(s) the most accurate or helpful description of justice?
