Staying up to date with current policies and things that are going on in the healthcare world is

one of the many ways to influence change. Participating in various groups and organizations

helps people like you and me stay up to date. By including yourself in active groups that deal

directly with things involved in the government, you are allowing yourself to be one step closer

to gaining a voice in the things you believe in. To me participation is one of the best strategies to

have. There are many other ways to influence change in policy such as advertising, researching,

and being involved. However, policy and legal issues are crucial to the regular operation of the

health system, to the health and safety of individuals and communities across a range of

ordinary life events and are not only pertinent in the context of significant healthcare and public

health developments (Teitelbaum et al., 2017)
