This can also help us gain trust from the patient which can lead us to gain more information about the patients.

Another reason is so you can share information, this is vital in my work setting because, for example, if a service user begins a new course of antibiotics then the member of staff dealing with this must pass the information on to all other staff to make sure they continue the course of medication. Finally communication is important to allow you to reassure others; if a service user with dementia is becoming distressed due to confusion of where they are for instance, then gentle reassurance is needed to help the situation and make them feel at ease. 1.2 Effective communication affects all aspects of my work because it helps build trust between both me and my colleagues and me and the service users. If a service user feels they can trust me then any problems they may face can be shared and overcome in a professional way.

Social workers need to be advocates for their clients that are unaware of the resources out there to help them in their time of need.
