Unit 4222-304 Principles for implementing duty of care in health and social care. 1. Understand how duty of care contributes to safe practice. 1.1 The term duty of care means to give the best care and attention to the clients i work with. This is based around each individual and their careplan so the care i give is individual to them.
Supporting people to be as independent as possible. Treating people with dignity and respect. Recognising that working with people is a partnership rather than a relationship controlled by professionals. By placing all these together the care plan is tailor-made to that particular person. 1.2 Explain why it is important to work in a way that embeds person centred values The values that underpin our work have an impact on our day to day work.
As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally. 2) A care plan is very personal to each individual as it sets out the guidelines of what care they need and receive. Carers should be able to read a care plan and understand what assistance is expected, involving a wide range of different needs. By focusing a care plan on each individual it becomes ‘person centred’, this ensures that every patient is receiving the benefits of support and assistance from carers. At St Nicholas House we review care plans at the end of each month with each resident, this ensures that any changes or issues are addressed as soon as possible.
This ensures the individual accessing care or services is placed at the centre or home. The team should share a common purpose and vision to improve the individual’s life. Effective partnership working involves many features including: * Trust * Empathy * Respect for the skills and contribution of colleagues * Communication * Effective listening skills * Realistic expectations * Clear objectives * Honesty * Working to agreed practices * Maintenance of balance between task and relationship orientation There are various theories relating to effective partnership working. These include areas such as team working, avoidance of social loafing, avoidance of
6.3.3.1 Explain why it is important to work in partnership with others. It is vital for the individuals support team to work with others to achieve a person centred approach towards the care, support or needs of the service user, this allows for the information to be shared confidentially and in agreed ways, to achieve the best standard of care for each individual. Also so that others that come in to the home can read or be passed on accurate and up to date information, so that they can provide a consistent approach to each individual and their needs. This also demonstrates respect, mutual beneficial practices for the individuals. It also allows each employee to understand each others roles, and what purpose
HSC026 - Evidence Unit 7 - Implement Person Centres Approaches in Health and Social Care. Define person-centred values. Person- centred values are about asking people what they want and providing practical ways for them to have choice and control in their lives, and having a positive approach. We should have a positive focus on what the person can do, not what they can’t. It is also important to actively acknowledge the person’s strengths, passions and aspirations, and actively involve the family and friends, if the person wishes.
Ai Definition of person-centred values - The purpose of person-centred values is to ensure that the individual needing care is placed at the very centre of the decision making process about their life, the services and support they want and need. It is treating people as individuals, making sure they have their privacy, making sure they have access to their rights, treating people with dignity and respect and supporting people to be as independent as possible. Aii Why it is important social care workers work in a way that promotes person centred values - It is important to promote person centred values so that the individual will feel empowered and in control of their lives, be more confident about making decisions and so that they will feel valued and respected. Aiii Definition of the term ''consent'' in adult social care - Consent is the informed agreement to an action or decision. To establish consent would be to be given permission or approval on such actions or decisions.
Unit SHC36 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care 2.2 How do you use care plans when applying person centred values A person and their needs should be at the centre of the support process. A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met. This is especially important when the issues regarding the person are difficult or of a sensitive nature. Person centred working is about putting people in control of their lives, whether it be a new service user or a person who has been “stuck in the system” for many years. Most places will have a format (usually a care plan) for identifying needs such as: * What they are able to do independently * Personal Care * Nutritional Needs * Daily Life * Choice and Control * Risks * Medications * Work, leisure and learning * Physical and mental health It is important that everything is included in the care plan.
The support workers roles is too make sure they support the individual to there best of there ability and follow their care plan. It is the support workers role to provide the client with good quality of care. To do this you need to involve the individual in any decision making and encourage both there participation and feedback. The role of a care manager fulfils the role of a registered manager. The manager will be available to talk about any issues concerning the individuals 24 hours a day or if any problems occur.
This approach enables you to get to know a service user and get to know in which way they would like to be cared for. Another approach to Person Centred Practice is empowering service user’s to freedom of choice. By law a service user has the right to freedom of choice; this could even come down to simple things such as food and drink preferences. Each service user has the freedom of choice; this could also involve the choice about their treatment plan. To provide person centred practice all staff should give their service user freedom of choice, even if they don’t agree with the choices being made.
