In this task I will be exploring the different types of communication available and how vital they are in a health and social care sector. If care practitioners have demonstrate bad communication skills it will have a negative impact on the image of the health sector and also on the service users in terms of not getting the care they need or not getting the right information about the care they are about to receive. In the health and social care profession, effective communication is absolutely vital as it allows health workers to carry out their jobs effectively and also good communication creates a good relationship and a strong bond between care workers and care receivers and also it enables care workers to to effectively carry out their work responsibilities by allowing them to work peacefully and effectively with their colleagues. People who suffer fro communication impairments are at a risk of being unable to effectively communicate with their health care providers which could have a negative impact of their health in form of the type and quality of care that they receive. They are different forms of communication available for example one to one, group, formal, informal, verbal, oral and so on.
Informed consent could be implied, explicit, verbal or written. This is to protect health care professionals as a failure to obtain a patients consent to healthcare may result in criminal charges of assault or civil action for battery, in addition to this failure to disclose material risks to patients may give rise for ones action for negligence. “Patient centred care is widely recognised as a core dimension of a quality modern health services” (QLD health informed consent guide 2014). Informed decision making about benefits, risks and alternatives of treatment, taking into account each patients personal circumstances, beliefs and priorities is vital for a truly patient centred care. A well informed patient can have an active involvement in their decision making in regards to health care and treatment, allowing them to have realistic expectations about the likely or potential outcomes of the treatment and an additional protection against errors or adverse events.
Introduction to equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings 1) Understand the importance of equality and inclusion: 1.1) Explain what is meant by: 1a) Diversity Diversity means the difference in individuals and recognising that individuals identity for example in the care home I work in we have a resident who believes in religion so therefore wont eat certain meat this is what is meant by diversity recognising the individual as the person they are. So my main point is even though people have dementia in my workplace it doesn’t mean there all the same they all have different forms of dementia and stages so it is important to see that each person has there own unique individual identity and diversity recognises the differences whether its differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, religion and disabilities and how individuals choose to live their lives. 1b) Equality Equality is about ensuring every individual have equal opportunities in order to make the most of their talents and lives. Equality is about no one having less opportunity or choice because of their beliefs, gender, race, sexuality orientation, background, family structure or disability. Equality does not mean that people will be treated the same, but they should be treated fairly.
In nursing we approach problems with the understanding of advocating for our patients’ rights, benevolence and non-maleficence. However there are consequences when we analyze own our values of what we would want or believe to be religiously valuable. The benefits of assisting the patient in what they want outweigh the risks of not assisting them. Health care providers must provide a service in which the patient seeks to be beneficial to them. History has proven that people want assistance in ending their life because their quality of life is no longer viable.
Collaboration between health professionals and various services provided a new approach to individually treat people with mental illness within their community. This new approach assisted with reducing the related stigma for people who attend mental health services. However, today barriers and gaps still exist within the health care system and the community that are not ideal and these flaws can reduce access for the consumer and carer to obtain support and care from services. Within this essay, I will endeavour to examine potential barriers and gaps that consumers and carers have to negotiate in order to obtain service. Through research I will provide possible strategies to overcome various problems with integration, coordination and continuity of care so that mental health care needs are met and people are fully supported
Cambridge TECHNICALS OCR LEVEL 3 CAMBRIDGE TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE/DIPLOMA IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND RIGHTS IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE D/600/9222 LEVEL 3 UNIT 2 GUIDED LEARNING HOURS: 60 UNIT CREDIT VALUE: 10 EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND RIGHTS IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE D/600/9222 LEVEL 3 UNIT 2 AIM OF THE UNIT To provide effective care practitioners must have a good knowledge and understanding of the diversity that exists amongst people in society. Many individuals who need health, social or early years services can be vulnerable and dependent on others; this means that practitioners’ attitudes, values and prejudices can significantly affect the quality of care people who use services experience. This unit will help learners to appreciate the implications of diversity on practice and also the effects of discriminatory practice on people who use services. Learners will also gain an appreciation of how legislation, national initiatives and policy guidelines can support anti-discriminatory practice. PURPOSE OF THE UNIT Effective health and social care practice recognises and adapts to society and the needs of individuals within it.
Culture: treating individual differently or unfairly because of their social background, religion and culture can be classified as discrimination. Every individual’s culture is important to them as this specially identifies who they are in the society where they come from. Is very important in the health and social care to respect a person’s culture regardless of where they coming from. Respecting individual’s culture is important as
Sometimes these feelings are unreasonable but they can be justifiable. If this is the case, we must take a look at the communication process and take corrective action. The last step is responsiveness. This goes hand in hand with availability. From a patient and their family’s perspective, nurses do not have good responsive skills.
DUTY OF CARE 304 Ai WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM DUTY OF CARE Duty of care is a requirement that a person acts towards others and the public with the watchfulness, attention, caution and prudence that a reasonable person in the circumstances would. If a person's actions do not meet this standard of care, then acts are considered negligent and any damages resulting may be claimed in a lawsuit for damages. Aii HOW THE DUTY OF CARE AFFECTS THE WORK OF A SOCIAL CARE WORKER Duty of care makes us more aware, responsible and accountable for neglience when looking after somebody. Our observation and listening skills are very important. For example, If we notice a client has a sore spot at the base of the spine and we fail to report it or apply cream to it, in a very short space of time it could develop into a pressure sore which is neglient.
Assess the veiw that woman are no longer opressed by religion When it comes to woman and religion there are many arguments that suggest woman are opressed and then many that say woman arent being opressed. Feminist are the main people who suggest woman are being opressed when it comes to religion. Feminist see relgion as patriachal ideology, which is where the men are in power and use religion as a way to get there ideas across. so for example they say man is made in gods image. So this patriachal ideology legitamates gender inequality where woman are concerned as women can not become higher leader in the church the highest women can go is to become a vicar.
