Personal And Professional Development In Health And Social Care

Answer :

Task-1: Report (Reflective Journal) 

1.Individual Reflection 

2.Discussions on new developments and changes to personal values can impact on work in health and social care (AC 1.3)

A psychological aspect of individuals working as health and social care representatives has indicated to the adherence of virtues of promoting uniform standards for health and social facilities by developing a suitable framework for catering the basic needs of the community members. As an active participant, I have found an interest in differential values namely tolerance, fairness, privacy and self-reliance. The value of tolerance has been developed through different interactive sessions with various community members and acquisition of a lucid overview about their respective limitation on the aspect of health and social care accessibility. Tolerance is needed in order to patience levels which is required to ensure a critical interception of the problems or the issues that needs to be resolved as indicated by the task objective. The nomination of the probable solution is highly influenced by the values of self-reliance. It promotes a confident approach, which helps in the procedure of decision-making. The field of Health and Social care deals with a critical aspect of human survival, which demands a timely and accurate approach to decision making. In various cases, it has been identified that the subjects are affected to deep levels of psychological innuendoes and prefer a privacy of their problem. They generate a sense of insecurity with respect to believe that a public exposure of their problem may isolate them for their community or society. The capability of ensuring a privacy of the problem between the subject and me is expected to expand the scope of my research, which is essential for the future course of my career. The value of fairness can be projected as a collective interpretation of privacy, equality and tolerance in the case of health and social care. The identification of the gaps in promoting differential means of health statements or procedures of health care may be related to a effective interception of the mentioned values.  

Task-2: Portfolio- Part One 

Activity 1: Honey and Mumford Reflection (AC 2.1) 

Honey and Mumford style questionnaire has helped me to acquire a legitimate overview about my traits as a learner in the health and social care industry. I have responded to the questions with a through attitude that reflects my perceptions on a particular work procedure. The active resentment of the procedure involved can be indicated through an ideal consideration of the work procedures.

It has portrayed me as an activist and a reflector. As an individual, I have reflected my interceptions through the positive and negative statements that are indicated in the answer scripts. The nomination of the varied credential of an active learner may be reflected through an acute consideration of the work attitudes (Rowe, 2017). The questionnaire set reflects decisions that may be taken in regards to a projected simulation or situation. I have been suggested as a activist as I prefer a through analytical approach in regards to the decision marking procedure rather than concluding on decisions based on intuition. Reflection on a scenario has been influenced through the previous experiences that have been gathered in the course of the work. A bold approach along with a analytical statement on a defined work procedure is expected justify the identification in accordance to the questionnaire. 

Activity 2: SWOT Analysis 

Table: SWOT Table

(Developed by Self)

The above table has been developed through a relationship between the findings from the Honey and Mumford Questionnaire and the implications of SWOT as an analytical element. The proposed blend between the two paradigms has been reflected in this paragraph. The consideration of the effective outcomes of the tool has projected an acute interception in regards to the variation in component identification and resource modification with respect to the health and social care industry.

Task-3: Portfolio- Part Two 

Part 1: Partnership working 

1.Explaination on the nature of different professional relationships in health and social care contexts (3.1)

The variances in the professional relationship existing in the domains of health and social care reflect an interpretation of the analytical statements that may reflect the prevailing standards in health and social care (Hutchinson and Jackson, 2015). In the above segment, the identification of the key strengths and weakness has provided with a lucid overview about the segregation of the resources with an alignment towards their respective utility in the field of health and social care. The health care profession includes segments as doctors, nurses, compounders, chemist etc. The relative natures of the professional relationship in health care may vary in accordance with the requirements. 

2.Evaluation of Personal experiences in promotion and supporting of the rights of individual (3.2)

Health care facilities can be projected as a fundamental right of an individual. It can be stated that the increasing gaps in the regards to an equal framework for segregation of health care distribution is becoming a virtual concept in regards to the prevailing scenarios in health care. An attendance in a open forum helps in expanding the knowledge base through an interactive procedure representing various ideologies and perceptions related to health care. The interception through the provision of the varied components of health needs of a community may be essentially attained through an interjection of the internal and external influential to the scenario. 

3.Discussions on the various ways encountered in professional relationship (3.3)

The differential operational procedure in regards to an effective interception of the proportionate measures reflects a gap in the identified needs of health care and the projected procedure for amending the gaps. The interception through the fundamentals of the operational procedure may aid in précising or gathering an accurate overview about the needful arrangements with respect to the adherence of a normative approach in health and social care practices (Clift and Camic, 2016). The nomination of the arbitrary components of the work procedure and the inclusion of the unethical standards in the work procedures can be interjected as a major blockage on the aspect of an effective health and social care procedure.  

Part 2: Teamwork

1.Evaluate the effectiveness of personal contributions when working with others in health and social care practice (4.1)

The effective intercept of personal contributions lies in attempting an inclusion of individual perceptions and nomination of the varied credentials with respect to a normal alignment in health care standards. The effective outcomes of a work procedure is highly influenced by the inclusion of the respective perceptions of the team members in the drafting of the operational procedure or strategy. It is impossible for an individual to reflect appropriate knowledge on the varying aspects relevant to health and social care standards (Nelson and Staggers, 2016). A concreted drafting of the operational procedure may include the individual perceptions of the team members in order to reduce the gaps of decisions taken and implemented by an individual. 

2.Explain how the limits of own role impacts on work with others (4.2)

The limitation of an individual who is considered or reflected as a team member may project an abrupt limitation on the entire work procedure, which is proposed for adaptation by the entire team member. A rejection in regards to the consideration of the cultural gaps prevailing between the team members may disrupt the work procedure as adapted or as implemented by the team. The affectivity of the produced may be reflected through the operational procedure and the work environment that prevails within the team.  

3.Analyse own role in minimizing barriers to effective teamwork in health and social care practice (4.3)

The performance of a team is highly influenced by the mutual bonding, which is shared between team members. It is also influenced by the attitude of mutual respect and affinity among the team individuals. As a team member, I attempt to ensure a harmonious and cheerful environment among the team, which may help in enhancing the quality of the deliverables. 

4.Discuss how to improve personal contributions to the collective effectiveness of a team (4.4) 

An expanded acquisition of knowledge with a preferable alignment to the field of health and social care is expected to enhance the quality of the service which offered by a team. The nomination of the gaps through a critical assessment of the projected variables can be considered as an essential element of the team success (Lyons, 2016). The development of a understanding about the cultural gaps that prevails between the society members and identification of their respective needs can be suggested as an effective aspect of personal contributions with respect to an improvisation in teams members. 

                   Task-4: Evaluation PDP (500)

1.Monitor your progress against the plan according to the requirements of a health and social care practioner and revise your plan as required (AC 2.3)

As a health and social care service providers it is important to understand how to work in different environments which includes homes of the clients, health and social care centers, community day cares and residential nursing homes. It also requires good communication skills in order to understand patients’ needs and to serve for their psychological wellbeing. As a health and social care provider in order to develop my interpersonal skills and ability to understand the needs and requirements of a patients a PDP has been developed. As per the PDP plan several activities were taken under consideration in order to develop interpersonal communication skills interactive online training simulations and online group collaboration projects have been proved to be helpful. Often healthcare practitioners are expected to work as a group. Therefore, it is important to acquire skills that can be helpful in group activities. The activities that have been chosen for personal development, has enhanced the ability of working in a group as well as it has helped to understand individual needs of each person which is important in order to provide quality service and empathy to the patients.

As per the recent comprehension of the development plan it has been analyzed that several other activities need to be incorporated in the plan which can enhance other skills which are required in order to be a successful health practitioner.

2.Provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of your development plan to your own development as a health and social care practioner (AC2.4)

As per the initial development plan required changes have been incorporated in the updated plan. This plan has helped to build my interpersonal skills. My reading of the psychological needs of the patients has improved. It has also developed my ability to work in a team. As a healthcare practitioner the plan has developed my ability to interact with the patients in different environments.
