Care Practice and Provision In this essay I will explore the areas of care practice and provision- Demographic factors have a direct impact on the planning and delivery of all types of services, non-statutory and statutory. Analysis of these characteristics will enable planners to plan the delivery of health, social, educational and early-years services to meet the needs of service users at a local level. Effective planning of care practice and provision of services aims to respond to the changing needs and priorities at a local level, but also takes into consideration national priorities. Demographic influences include the following: health needs of the population; disability; age distribution of the population; unemployment; number of single parent families; the number of older people One example of a demographic that influences the provision of services is Death rates and morbidity rate- Mortality statistics provide a good starting point for describing a health problem, from which a more detailed investigation can begin. They provide the data for studies to examine the pattern of causes of disease across populations and places,, for analysing changes over time, for understanding differences among population groups (e.g., by occupation), and in the study of health inequalities. Morbidity -measures that indicate the consequences of living with chronic diseases such heart disease, hypertension, stroke and diabetes. The health status of a population has a significant impact on the use and allocation of health care resources. - this influences the planning and provision of resources in the area because high mortality and morbidity rates in a area mean more need for foster care and adoption schemes as people in this area will be m... ... middle of paper ... ...ent of suicide risk, where this is Appropriate. Treatment recommended or arranged. Follow-up arrangements, When a patient has been to a consultation it is vital for the GP to receive basic information quickly. This must include accurate details of drugs prescribed and when a particular drug should be stopped, if it is meant to be short term. Doctors in general practice vary in their ability to diagnose and to manage psychiatric problems but short consultation times in general practice make mental examination's hard to do and GP's can focus too narrowly on solutions such as prescription of drugs. Psychiatrists can more accurately diagnose and treat the patient and work with the GP's knowledge of the patient- the GP can see the service user on a more regular basis and consult with the psychiatrist regularly to check that the patient is progressing in their treatment
Practitioners are likely to concentrate on the mental health issues rather than the overall issues that prevent the well-being of an individual. For instance, an individual could have other medical issues that need attention but the need could be ignored because a psychiatrist specialises in mental health needs. The previous negative experience of a service user and lack of insight could result in the service user not requesting the support they
This was followed up by changes in the department of health where people were to be given more choice over what services they needed. The National service framework further increased the need for individualised services that related to a person’s needs rather than fitting into existing services. The care standards act 2000 developed the need to develop individualised service provision for people and for services to adapt to these needs. Person centred care was then incorporated into many policies to promote independence and the rights and choices of

Psychiatry in a nutshell is the fundamental of how to treat mental illnesses, emotional disturbances and abnormal behavior. Psychology and psychiatry go hand in hand, meaning that they both coincide with mental health problems and emotional occurrences. Being a psychiatrist means that that someone would talk to patients and reason with them, about things they do in their life and how they can do them better. Becoming a psychiatrist to help young adults and adults come to terms with their illnesses and some people want to help them get through everyday life.
Exploring Social Care Policy and Provision Defining poverty is not easy and there are several reasons for it and again in different countries levels of poverty differ depending on culture. Dallos, R and McLaughlin, E describes one reason for poverty being ‘the welfare state, and calls for fundamental changes in its operation’. I will be exploring how poverty and the welfare state are linked how it has emerged and what has been done to help eradicate this for those immersed in this lifestyle. One of the ways people can be helped and poverty can be targeted is though through welfare rights Bateman, N (2005). I will look at the role of the welfare rights unit where I had my first practice placement and will look at their role in the continuous struggle against poverty.
D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.
The theory used for this case study was effective, because it was able to get P to recognise that change need to occur so the support that she received would be effective. Reflecting on action the outcome of the assessment and intervention that was applied to P’s case I used supervision and to discuss concerns I had regarding this family with my PS. Supervision helped me establish my concerns and areas I required further support in application to theory in evidence based practice ‘blind self’.
Psychiatrists are physicians who help patients with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of any mental disorder. Psychiatrists can treat patients with a range of disorders from mild anxiety, to people with severe disorders that can cause dangerous behavior to anyone with a mental retardation, to anyone also suffering with alcoholism. Psychiatrists can also prescribe drugs to their patients because they are physicians. They undergo many years of training to be able to recognize the connection between mental disorders and physical disorders. Psychiatrists can work with their patients in their own private offices or in hospitals and clinics. Psychiatrists can also teach in medical school or research and study the causes and treatments ...

What is the central component of advanced practice nurses (APNs) direct clinical practice and patient/families?
Community profiling as a nurse provides an insight into the population and areas of the geographical communities where nursing care is provided. It allows nurses to gain an understanding of the services provision for a particular health issue within a given community and also provides an awareness into the role and responsibilities of the nurse in facilitating access to services. The chosen geographically determined locality for this community profile is Newcastle-Upon-Tyne given that it is an area of interest due to having close proximity to this location, which may also be advantageous whilst working in practice as service users could be affected by the health issues and concerns highlighted within this community profile.... ... middle of paper ... ...
