The government’s interest is derived from protection of the public, service improvement, and since it funds the NHS, resource management. Policies can be organisation-wide but are more useful if they can be adapted to local settings. The lone working policy will work well for each locality if it can be tailored to local circumstances as risk is situational and specific to circumstances. Policies alone are not enough, input and investment into staff training and supportive structures and management are also essential. Resources management and promoting good team working are an integral part of risk assessment and management.
At times, I will give social and emotional care separate attention in order to elaborate on the importance of each. Then I will address them as one, social/emotional care because the two needs as well as their subsequent care are intimately intermingled. Differentiating the social/emotional aspects of healthcare from the medical, physical, or any other aspects of care exposes the nature, power, and significance of social/emotional care. Fully realizing the importance of social/emotional care is the first step toward promoting better social/emotional care. In opposition to my claim that better social/emotional care is needed, many
The Social Model of Disability Everyone is an individual. The person may have different needs and living requirements Disabled people have arrived at a different ‘model’ to help understand the situation. They are challenging people to give up the idea that disability is a medical problem requiring ‘treatment’, but to understand instead that disability is a problem of exclusion from ordinary life. This is what is known as the ‘social model’ of disability, requiring a change in society’s values and practices in order to remove the barriers to participation that can discriminate against disabled people. The disability experienced is often caused by the approach taken by society/individuals, which take no account of people with impairments and their associated needs, thereby excluding them from mainstream activity.
I also tried my best to eliminate other external barriers like bad lighting as he mainly depended on his sight so I made sure nothing would interrupt that. It was essential that I also showed a lot of empathy towards him as losing your hearing is a very depressing process to go through alone. However, when assisting Mr P to the hospital the interaction with him in Group was a lot more difficult than on a one to one basis. This is mainly because when there’s a lot of other people around it makes it harder for him to focus on only my actions. While speaking to the doctor it was very hard for Mr P to understand or hear what was being asked or said.
Champion equality ,diversity, and inclusion Explain the models of practice that underpin equality, diversity and inclusion in your own area of responsibility In my area of responsibility I would like to pin point two specifics models of practice the first one is the social model of mental health, many patients have been suffering with discrimination and prejudice demonstrated in today’s society, in which the need for each other has not been taken seriously or the environment where they live. The stigma of mental health patients still plays a very difficult role in power of those who need to be looked after and by their relatives. The social model focuses on whom is the mental health person as a individual, not to their diagnosis and lack of understanding of the world , it also focuses on how to support and empower the individual to have a better life and lead an independent life , supported by a society that understands the patients with mental health needs. The second is the medical model of care, that views adults with mental health with difficulties or lacking in some ways, this model focuses in acknowledging ways to give better treatment and therapy, to also focus on identifying, diagnosing and controlling the condition in the best way possible with a strong medical and clinical support. I have
In fact, before the establishment of the disability movement, disabled people were placed at the edge of community life rather than in the main flow. This explains how much they used to be excluded from all social groups. This has been caused by the widespread stigma and discrimination against disabled people. Thorncroft, (2006) argues that they are among the most stigmatised people in many societies of the world at large. The fact that the medical model of care suggest that practitioners such as doctors and psychiatrists has the final say regarding what a disabled person can do and expecting the client would comply with what they say has made has become problematic.
Plus brief personal look into it as well. Crises Intervention Crisis intervention is described as emergency psychological care. This type of care is for individuals that have been in a crises situation or experience. The emergency care is intended to restore the individual’s psyche, and help avoid psychological trauma. Because individuals lack the coping skills when of a crisis event occurs, it is of great importance to counsel these crises survivors early on rather than later.
“Truly benefits” will be used to mean the patient will, in time, have an improved quality of life (Hickey and Montgomery, 2009). Although the patient may not be able to return to the life he or she had prior to the onset of the condition, they should at least be able to experience stabilization or near stabilization of their condition. According to Hickey and Montgomery (2009)”one is not allowed to treat the patient as they personally prefer, but to adhere to a professional code such as the Code for Nurses”. The patient may have indicated end of life decisions which must be, as one is best able, carried to completion or perhaps such ideas are unclear, and can definitive conclusions be made For
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
Even though there were principles to guide social work practice in mental health, tension emerged between evidence based practice, recovery principles and the lived experiences of mental health. Despite strong endorsement of the principles, inadequate resources to support initiatives for client needs, culture awareness and undeveloped knowledge required considerable change and needed to be addressed. Lived experiences of mental health problems There have been widespread contradictions regarding the prevalence of Bi-polar Disorder. Jablensky et al., (1999), and
