Unit 1 P5 Participate in a one to one interaction in a health and social care context. Communication in a health and social care environment is very important. When communicating with work colleagues I must make sure that I practiced active listening, by doing this I was able to ask questions when the points they made wasn’t clear and for me to also give my opinion on the discussion. There were many one to one interactions that took place in the GP surgery that I worked at. When I started my placement at the surgery I was assigned a mentor for the day, she showed me how to operate the booking system.
Hi Tahira, I’m really looking forward to you coming and working with me on your placement. As this is your first placement I’m will be giving you some advice on what barriers to effective communication with a care user you will encounter regularly at the residential home. Here are the main ones that I frequently encounter with the residents: sensory deprivation, someone’s whose first language is not English and slang. Hopefully this email will help you if you encounter such barriers. Sensory deprivation is when someone cannot receive or pass on information because they have impairment to one or more of their senses, most commonly a visual or a hearing disability; such a barrier can affect communication because if the person is deaf he will not be able to understand what you are saying.
From the first visit can contact district nurse if anything specific is required e.g. a dressing, we can also contact the meals at home service, the falls team, complete a lifeline referral and email through a fire safety check. If fire safety check is urgent we phone up and book an appointment there and then.

“Differences develop depending on the availability of after-school programs, social and medical services, and the quality of housing and neighborhoods” (Mossler, 2013) can also be used to compare to patient appointments. Exosystem has an influence with this experience of mine in the sense that availability of medical services in my workplace has to be available in order for the patient to be seen. In regards to working at Atlantic Chiropractic, the behaviors that are apparent in my adulthood would be communicating with different people daily, compassion, and knowledge. Each day that I go to work I find that I have to have a positive attitude to be able to make it through the day each day. Each day patients come into the office and I have to communicate with patients about anything from getting their insurance information, to collecting copays from the
They check vital signs such as heartbeat rate, glucose level, and temperature of patients, and administer medication to patients under the supervision of RNs. They also handle patient's need for daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and feeding. Even though they are also familiar with the patient’s illness or medical conditions, they are not allowed to assess patients or decide anything for them without consulting RN or doctors. Since the work pressure on LPNs are not much as compared to RNs, they get to leave the medical setting on time and enjoy time with their families and friends. Work environment for RNs and LPNs Registered nurses are trained and skilled in handling emergency cases.
Car crash victims and knee and hip replacement patients were now part of my daily routine, As my time there grew I was invited to attend theatre a couple of times which boosted my skills and knowledge even more. I was actually asked to proceed with my nursing degree at this time but turned the opportunity down due to personal circumstances. Later in my carer I also completed roles with various agencies including one that specialised in people with mental health and dementia. I believe this experience has now given me the basics of clinical skills and will enable me to implement into my future career. At present I work closely with unemployed people with a variety of different needs.
