UNIT 84*1008_50113069_gen.LD202.1 Outcome 1Person-centred thinking is a set of values, skills and tools used in Person Centred Planning and in the personalisation of services used by people who need supports provided by social or health care.Person-centred thinking tools in common use include one-page profiles, 'working/not working', 'important to/important for', 'good day/bad day', communication charts, 'doughnut' of staff roles and responsibilities, relationship circles, learning logs and person-centred reviews.These tools provide an agenda which a person and the people who know that person best can think together, focussing on what is important to that person, how they wish to live, and then introduce changes that will move towards those aspirations.Person Centred Planning is a collection of tools and approaches that can be used to plan with a person- not for them. Planning should build upon the person’s circle of support and involve all the people who are important in that person’s life. Person centred planning is built upon the values of inclusion and looks at what support a person needs to be included and involved in their community.Person Centred Planning is so important it is an ongoing process. If it is to be effective it must result in real change for people who need assistance in some way, the purpose of person centred planning is to enable people to live the lives they want.The beliefs and values around person centred thinking and planning is that Person Centred Planning is based on an explicit set of beliefs and values concerning people with disabilities, services and communities. At the heart of all the planning approaches is the belief that every single individual has their own life to lead, a life that is right for them.Everyone will have slightly different belief and values making it very important to make sure that your person centred care and
In the article by Garrett, Baillie, McGeehan, and Garrett (2010), the health care professional’s obligation is to “provide the health care information and leadership to ensure that this distribution is accomplished in ways that allow the goals of health care to be achieved” (p. 71). Although the physician informed Ms. Selbstmord of the lifestyle changes she needed in order to improve her condition, he failed to inform her of other important treatment options. The physician decided against prescribing Ms. Selbstmord a medication for asthma because of the side effects that would result. However, the principle of double effect of nonmaleficence would suggest that improvement of her asthma by the medication would create more good than the harm of the side effects so it should have been given as an option for the patient to decide. If the health care professional would have provided Ms. Selbstmord of all of the options for treatment and their consequences, it would become Ms. Selbstmord’s responsibility if whether or not her condition improved or worsened.
5) How has public policy played a role in your practice both professionally (practices of MHC) and personally (licensure & accreditation) ? Can you give specific example(s)? To start, public policy should recognize mental health equal to physical health. People can’t have one without the other. Insurance Parity is the key.
Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Name of Student Institution of Affiliation Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Evidence-based Practice (EBP) is a study aimed at finding the effectiveness of the design-models put in place through the incorporation of information obtained from patients and clinicians (Levin, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Barness & Vetter, 2011, p.22). EBP is important because it offers an insight into the effectiveness of the models put in place in the healthcare system, their effectiveness while at the same time reducing the costs. EBP can be thought of as a practice aimed at empowering the medical practitioners while at the same time ensuring that patients get the best health care at a reduced cost (Levin at al., 2011, p.21). EBP is a systematic research review whose impact will continue to benefit both the patients and nurses in the medical healthcare setting. According to Levin et al.
Btec Level 3 90 Credit Diploma in Health and Social Care Unit 2: Promoting Anti-discriminatory Practice Introduction In this assignment I will be discussing how an anti-discriminatory practise can be promoted within a care home. I will also be assessing the difficulties which may arise when promoting an anti-discriminatory practise along with the solutions to them. Anti-discriminatory practise This is where employees within a care setting work together to provide their service users and colleagues with an environment which is discrimination free. This includes; race, gender, age, sexual orientation, class and disability. Not only is the setting free of discrimination but equality and fair treatment to everyone is promoted.
Promote person centred approaches in health and social care HSC036 ALL OUTCOMES IN RED ARE OBSERVATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY YOUR ASSESSOR. THE INFORMATION GIVEN INDICATES THE TYPES OF THINGS YOUR ASSESSOR WILL BE LOOKING FOR Understand the application of person centred approaches in health and social care OUTCOME 1 1. Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work Person-centred care is a philosophy of providing care that is centred around the person, and not just their health needs. We are all individual, no two people are the same hence it is not appropriate to say that because two people have dementia – that they both have the same care and support needs. The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be so to another.
Health and Social Care Intermediate Apprenticeship (Level 2) Health and Social Care Advanced Apprenticeship (Level 3).

The Act introduces several new roles, bodies and powers, all of which support the Act’s provisions. One of these is the Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) Service, which introduces the role of the Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA). The IMCA Service is intended to support and represent people who lack the capacity to make important decisions about serious medical treatment and changes of accommodation, and who have no family or friends whom it would be appropriate to consult about those decisions. The IMCA Service can also be instructed in vulnerable adult protection cases if the local authority or NHS body is satisfied that it would be of particular benefit to the person to do so. In vulnerable adult protection cases only, access to IMCAs is not restricted to people who have no one else to support or represent them.
