Strengths and weakness of multidisciplinary for service users Now I will talk about what I think are the weakness and strength of the multidisciplinary team MDT. One strength of multidisciplinary for the service users is that they get to have the best health care services as they have professionals from various backgrounds working with them. Having different professionals who are there to
This strategy once again prioritises a number of key influential factors which impact health in a significant way. 5.1 Housing One major impact on the health and well-being of people is where and how they live. Not only is the physical and social environment important, but the home is also the setting within which care is increasingly provided by both family and community based health and social care. Poor housing can affect people’s health. These links between housing and health in supporting the health and well-being of people in their homes are well documented and were highlighted recently in a Welsh Health Circular from the Welsh Assembly Government.
Explain how communication affects relationships in an adult social care setting (1.1.2) Good communication encourages participation, builds trust, promotes feelings of value and self worth and empowers individuality, creates equality and gives a shared understanding of each other’s needs, wishes and expectations. Good communication is important between staff and all involved in an individual’s care to ensure consistent delivery of the best level of care. Poor communication can lead to feelings of low self esteem, isolation, confusion, fear and frustration. It can also leave someone at an increased risk of abuse. 3.
Often famous people use their good reputation to promote many health campaigns and make people aware that our life is in our hands. This promotes healthy life style, encourage people to exercises and change their perspective on different things and their attitude. Social care practices also use this approach to promote anti-discriminatory practice by caring for vulnerable adults in their own homes and care settings. There are many home care settings that promote independence for their clients, they encourage them to stay positive and work hard to achieve what they want in life. Simply by supporting someone, we can help change their
Social care values are important when working with the McPhail family as the values ensure that they are protected and their rights are promoted. The social care values that underpin practice are the value of respect for the worth and dignity of every individual and the value of according social justice and promoting social welfare. If a service user is treated with respect and dignity this will increase their self-esteem and self-worth resulting in improvements in their behaviour, family life or an increase in opportunities available to them. As the family are travellers they are likely to be victims of marginalisation and discrimination and according to a poll conducted in 2003, 34% of people admitted to being personally prejudiced against
When looking at the impact that social class may have on heath status and inequalities it is important to first look at what social class and health is. Health is perceived in many different ways at different stages in life. The young look at it in terms of physical fitness, the amount of energy they have, their vitality and how they cope, those that are deemed middle-aged look more at having both their physical and mental well being complete and the elderly look at function, their ability to complete tasks and their state of mind. The World Health Organisation said about health that it is “not merely an absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well being.” Within the medical framework health can be defined as the absence of disease, therefore a state of health is presumed unless symptoms that deviate from the norm emerge and as such is seen to be a punishment for deviance and to maintain social order ,(Haralambos, 2004). Social class could be defined as the hierarchical distinctions between individuals and groups in society.
It made me happy for the survivors but also sad that they had to be put through such a traumatic life experience. I would love to participate in many events such as this to offer assistance in any area needed. These fundraisers and events are important because there are so many people in need of unaffordable assistance and the fundraisers help them to get the treatment
They both have the concept of saving a life, but just have different ways of doing it. Patch’s is more of the unorthodox practice and can go really great, or go really sour. If Patch has a more understanding of personal information about a person, then he can rule out certain diseases or treatments needed for the patient. By doing this, he can save lots of time and possible save a life if under a time frame. But if Patch was too attach to the patient, he could also make a totally wild off the chart procedure and could cause more damage or be fatal to the patient.
The negative stereotypes they have might impact the way they are treated in health and social practitioners. One stereotype that gypsies might face is that they are uneducated and are labelled as unintelligent. This negative stereotype can influence they way they are treated in health and social care settings. This could lead the gypsies to be treated unfairly by health practitioners. There have been various studies to prove negative effects of stereotyping for example, Jane Elliott experiment.
“The use of arts can deliver profound benefits for social care workforce, in particular challenging preconceptions on the abilities and talents of people with a range of conditions or needs” The recovery approach is increasingly recognised in mental health in the last few years .The notion of “recovery” has being embraced by my chosen placement Threshold Training Network (TTN)which supports people with mental health difficulties integrate back into society by incorporating a philosophy of education ,hope ,self-advocacy ,personal responsibility and support .Here TTN staff are aware and some have personal experience of the feelings of despair and hopelessness that accompanies mental health difficulties .This hopelessness is often exacerbated by the low expectations and therapeutic pessimism of services as well as by the stigma and discrimination frequently associated with mental health difficulties . (Dunn 1999) In TTN hope is viewed as a “lifesaving force”(Russinova 1999) and recovery can be viewed as a reawakening of hope after despair (Ridgeway 2001) The importance of having a sense of hope for the future has seen to evoke a sense of personal responsibility(Copeland 1989) ,development of self-advocacy(Ridgeway 2001,Onken et al 2002) rebuilding support networks(Repper&Perkins 2003) ,a purpose and meaning(Turner-Crowson&Wallcraft 2002) in life’s well as a sense of “the possible”. TTN is very interested in creative arts such as art, drama and storytelling to build on the natural strengths of each individual. Here the aim of creative arts is to boost self-confidence and self-esteem and concentration, to help people gain self-awareness and communicate better with others whilst reducing feelings of isolation and exclusion . (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health ,2010)The very process of creation involves self-exploration and can be both empowering and
