This case study will consider how principles are implemented in the work setting. How policies and procedures protect the client as well as the service provider.

Sarah feels not understood and she is disappointed. Furthermore, Sarah likes to refuse help now from the family supporter. This situation shows a typical ethical dilemma and conflict that can arise by providing care to user of health and social care service. As a professional Rose should react in a completely different way. Rose body language damaged the “relationship” between service user and service provider. Normally Rose must put her own principles and thoughts away and look about the needs of the single service user (Sarah). In a situation like this it is hardly difficult again to build up trust between service user and service provider. In that case it would be better for Sarah wellbeing, if she gets a different family supporter who has more experience to deal with sensitive situations. Furthermore Rose should be trained in association and should learn about the different theories which are helpful in providing support with …show more content…

Rose is still not aware that her very own believing damaged the” relationship” between her and Sarah, which has negative repercussions on Sarah’s depression and wellbeing. The positive aspects of Sarah’s case are the inter – professional work between different service provider; Sarah gets still support from Healthy Minds which works closely together with the local GP and Family Action Centre. The team from Healthy Minds recognised the negative impact on Sarah’s case and the career passed this information to Rose manager. By evaluating the effectiveness of inter- professional working, the conclusion is; “When conflict does arise, there are a number of approaches that can be taken to manage it. The choice of which approaches to use, such as collaboration, compromising, accommodating, competing or dodging, will depend on the nature of the conflict. The choice of approach to managing the situation will make a great deal of difference to the potential outcome of a situation “.According to (Leadership, Management and Team Working in Nursing, Shirley Bach, Peter Ellis,

    The person’s care I have chosen to analyse is that of a 65 year old female, for the purpose of confidentiality she will immediately be known throughout as Mary (NMC 2008). Mary was admitted to the continuing care unit where I was placed. Although Mary had come into the unit as a new admission, she has been known by the trust the unit resides in for over 10 years. Mary has only one known relative, her next of kin whom was married to her deceased brother. Mary was admitted as an informal patient, meaning she had not been sectioned under the Mental Health Act (1983). She was also deemed as having full capacity in regard to the Mental Health Capacity Act (2005).

    The purpose of the article, “Ethical Dilemmas in the Intensive Care Unit,” is to discuss two important ethical issues that health care workers in the intensive care units face. The first dilemma is treating a nonverbal patient, the second being medical futility. I chose this article because I intend to go into the critical care field once I finish nursing school. I also felt the topic of medical futility was of great important with recent headlines in the news regarding Brittany Maynard. Critical Care health workers are facing a growing patient population; this increase in patients leads to an increase in ethical issues and dilemmas surrounding the critical care field.

  • The Quality of Relationship Between the Carer and Care Receiver

    1331 Words  | 3 Pages

    A care relationship is special and requires skill, trust and understanding. This essay will elaborate how the quality of that relationship affects the quality of the care given and the experiences felt in receiving care. These different relationships will depend on the type of care given, who the care is given by and what sort of previous existing relationship there was to begin with. For a good care relationship to work it needs to follow the 5 K101 principles of care practice which are 'support people in maximising their potential','support people in having a voice and being heard','respect people's beliefs and preferences','support people's rights to appropriate services' and 'respect people's privacy and right to confidentiality'.(K101,Unit 4,p.183).

    One of the five key principles of care practice is to ‘Support people in having a voice and being heard,’ (K101, Unit 4, p.183). The key principles are linked to the National Occupational Standards for ‘Health and Social Care’. They are a means of establishing and maintaining good care practice.

    The word ethics is derived from the Greek word ‘ethos’ meaning character or conduct. It is typically used interchangeably with word moral which is derived from the Latin word ‘moves’ which means customs or habits. Ethics refers to conduct, character and motivations involved in moral acts. Ethics are not imposed by a profession, by law but by moral obligation. It is unwritten code of conduct that encompasses both professional conduct and judgement. Ethics helps support autonomy and self-determination, protect the vulnerable and promotes the welfare and equality of human beings.

  • Similarities Between Rose And Frankie Foyle

    The situation is mostly a blur to Rose but when she tries to recollect what happens she is hurt. Her sadness is known when she writes, "I wanted Frankie Foyle to kiss me too and didn't want to miss my turn. But Frankie didn't kiss me. My turn never came (154)". Frankie's actions or lack thereof require Rose to fight that little voice in her mind that constantly compares her to Ruby. Additionally, his actions force her to not only deal with the repercussions of what happened that day but find acceptance in her condition and persevere through what she desires. Similarly, I have often compared myself to my step-sister who is the same age as me. Although we both have our strengths and weaknesses, she is more popular, prettier and overall, a better person. Growing up, I wanted to be exactly like her but as I got older, I realized it was more important to create my own image for myself. In this way, I believe Rose and I are different. I don’t think that Rose has reached the point where you realize your own self-image should come before some else's. Her likeliness to judge herself off of Ruby’s experiences and actions, prove that she has a long way to come in regards to

    ...igning practitioner training programmes that include direct service user input. Current practices within services were discussed and highlighted a power imbalance between the service user and practitioner where the practitioner often holds all of the power and the views of the service user are often not considered. Possible resistance to a working partnership was discussed followed by suggestions to address these barriers to change. This highlighted that there are already policies in place that encourage a working partnership but Tait and Lester (2005) suggest there is no real evidence that these policies are being used regularly in practice. This essay has shown that a working partnership where the service user is involved in every aspect of their care is possible but policies and strategies need to be implemented and attitudes need to change for it to be achieved.

    Care value base is to help professionals. It also has a range of different standards for health and social care settings. The care value base is aimed to help improve an individual’s equality in life and to improve them all with the care value base they would need. There are three areas of health and social care from the care value base which are, fostering equality and diversity and fostering people’s rights and responsibilities and maintaining confidentiality and information.

    ...is shown in the Ian Wathey and Craig Faunch case of 2006 where social workers believed that it was wrong to probe the couple about their family histories and Judge Sarah Cahill (2006) explained how she was appalled that the police were not involved at an earlier date. In addition to this, the case of baby Peter Connelly illustrates how some practitioners can get too emotionally involved and compassionate towards clients. The NSPCC’s Ten Pit Downfalls (2010) suggests that this specific case illustrates how unfamiliar society is culturally with the idea that mothers can be perpetrators of physical abuse. Therefore, it can be seen that compassion was shown towards Peter’s mother during in depth questioning when practitioners decided she merely needed support, as explained by the Independent (2010) where Tracey Connelly seemed fairly caring but inadequate as a mother.
