barriers to communication
Introduction I am going to investigate the difference in social interactions in different care settings, which have service users of different age range. For my investigation I have decided to go into an educational care setting; this is Redfield edge primary schools reception class which has got children from the age of 5-11 years olds. I thought this was a good choice as in a nursery there might be barriers to communication; as the children may not be able to speak at a good level. I also plan to also use Capable care which is an elderly residence as a care setting to investigate interaction which are; both group and one to one. I am going to investigating aspects of the care value base, these are: * equality in care practise * peoples rights * respect for diversity , choice * Anti discriminatory practice and absence of stereotyping due to disability, health of mind / physical state or Place of origin * Right to confidentiality and privacy * Support and help. Transmission of values also will be demonstrated part of my coursework these are: * establishing and keeping relationships * getting to know the service user and showing empathy and sympathy * Promoting the person to establish and personal unique identity for their selves. * Indicating awareness of needs (PIES) * Praise * Encouragement to support * Giving the user choice and
Report on Healthcare Screening
"REPORT ON SCREENING" Helen Lyford-smith This report is a study on Screening. Living in the 21st century and as a result of this we have a large amount of knowledge established about various diseases, some of which can be cured, some of which scientists are still attempting to research and find solutions to, and some we can only endeavour to prevent. The aspect of prevention is the key focus for this assignment. During this study I will go into the various aspects of Screening, looking specifically into each type in exploratory analysis and evaluation looking at the positive and negative sides of each type of screening and the problems associated with each of them. Screening - an introduction Screening is a systematic examination or assessment, done especially to detect an unwanted substance or attribute. Screening can be carried out through the National Health Service in general hospitals or by your GP, or can be carried out in private organisations such as BUPA. The UK Health Screening Programme covers a vast array of medical examination and assessment ranging from dentistry through to screening for cancer cells - all of which I will be going into further depth with during the course of this report. According to a popular health study by the UK National Screening Committee, (http://www.nsc.nhs.uk) Screening is a public health service in which members of a defined

Introduction This report is about four interactions that I carried out in two different care environments. I carried out two group interactions, one took place in a day nursery for children aged 0-5 years old and the other group interaction took place in a residential home for elderly people. I also carried out two 0ne-to-one interactions in the same two care settings. By carrying out both one-to-one and group interactions in both settings, it allowed me to compare the different use of communication as well as transmission of values in different care environments and also in different contexts. I have not stated the name of the residential home or day nursery and I have changed all the names of the people I interacted with for confidentiality reasons. This report contains an analysis and interpretation for all four interactions, a comparison of the interactions, discussion of the methods used, evaluation of the findings and the conclusions made from the interactions. The report also contains a bibliography and Appendices showing the full interactions and the witness statements for all four of my interactions. Analysis and Interpretation Interaction 1 My first interaction was with a group of children, aged 3-4 years. The group consisted of one boy and three girls. I have renamed the children Henry, Kayleigh, Erika and Matilda. This interaction took place in the play room

Communicable and Non-Communicable Disease: Tuberculosis and Cystic Fibrosis
Communicable and Non-Communicable Disease: Tuberculosis and Cystic Fibrosis Biological Basis of Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB), a communicable bacterial infection, is spread by airborne droplets of saliva expelled from the oral and nasal cavities of the infected individual. The bacterium responsible, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is relatively slow-moving and thus symptoms may not become apparent in a patient for months or even years following infection.1 In addition to a slow symptom onset, this particular characteristic of the bacterium also means that, in order to catch TB, a person must be both in close contact with the infected individual, and exposed to them for a relatively long period of time. A second strain of the disease, caused by another rod-shaped bacterium (i.e. bacillus) called Mycobacterium bovis, can be spread from cattle to humans via infected milk products.2 M.bovis belongs to the same species (Mycobacterium), but belongs to a different species within the genus. Previously, M.bovis was a major cause of TB in children; however its incidence has declined in recent years due to the more widespread practice of pasteurisation.3 A typical bacterium is shown below: 4 Suspended within the cytoplasm of M.tuberculosis is a chromosomal loop which carries the bacterium's genetic material. This is encased in a cell membrane, which controls movement of substances in
Public Health Issue- Skin Cancer (Had A*)
Danielle Crawford 8034 Unit 6 Public Health Index Title Pages: Introduction: 2 A01: 3 A02/A03: 8 A04: 22 Bibliography: 31 Introduction I am going to look at a public health issue that affects the public as a whole population. Public health is about improving the health of the population, rather than with individual health. There are many public issues that are dangerous and unhealthy to the population, the one that most took my interest was skin cancer. I will gather statistics, graphs and research to help me gather more knowledge about the issue and how the government promotes health campaigns and education to warn people about the dangers of it. Government strategies and methods are developed to promote and protect the public on the health issue as well as minimize the actual or potential impact of the issue itself. The number of people in the UK suffering from skin cancer is increasing dramatically every year. The service user group that suffers from skin cancer are male and females mainly in the early adulthood category, middle adulthood category and later
Unit 8 Essay on caring for children
Emma Farrell Pin- 10/693693 468.000 Unit 8- Caring for Children [E1] One method in which contributes to the role of practitioner in caring for a child is training and development. One training course in which the practitioner could enrol on is a Food hygiene course. Contributing in a food hygiene course will give the practitioner knowledge and experience in the correct methods and procedures to the correct preparation in providing healthy meals and snacks for children. An example of what could be learnt from a food hygiene course is the different types of foods and which type of food has to be prepared on different coloured boards. For example fruit and vegetables are to be prepared on a green board and fish is to be prepared on a blue board. Another suitable training course in which the practitioner could enrol in a first aid course, a first aid course would give the practitioner knowledge and understanding of basic first aid skills which may be needed to use in practice. For example if your setting was based around a Forest school approach, children are encouraged to take suitable risks and challenge; therefore children may have accidents such as a grazed knee. From contributing in the first aid course the practitioner will have knowledge of the correct and safest procedure to take when cleaning the wound. Another role of the practitioner is to meet the individual

Unit 6 - Personal & professional development in Health & Social care P1) Explain key influences on personal learning processes of individuals In this assignment I am going to be talking about key influences on my personal learning. I will start by explaining the positive and negative influences in my childhood experience. I will then explain my present experience and finish this assignment with my future expectations of learning process. During my childhood stages in primary school which was located in Birmingham I believe that I have experienced a lot to make me the person I am today. I have experienced a period time of being bullied and abused which had put my self-esteem and confidence down. I had to change my image just to fit in where I now believe was wrong. I have also made a few changes such as not socialising with the people I used to which destroyed me physically, emotionally and intellectually. My grades have also put me down in secondary school and my ability of understanding. I felt as though I did not get enough support from my teachers because they never made me feel motivated. Since I was a slow learner and did not achieve much I was put in a lower group with other students who had lower grades. I felt that I was not valued by my teachers and for this reason I did not have any inspiration to achieve anything. My family was very encouraging however it was

Communication and care values
UNIT 2 - COMMUNICATIONS & CARE VALUES INTRODUCTION As part of my Health and Social care 'A' level I have been asked to produce a report on Communication and care values. For me to produce my report I need to undertake a placement in one of the following areas, where I will research and conclude my findings based on my initial report. Here are the following settings or service user groups that I will have to choose from to base my report on: * Health * Early years - (care and education) * Care of older people * Individual with specific needs The setting or service user group that I will be focusing on through this report is: Early years - (care and education) And the placement that I have chosen to base my report on is: Nursery The purpose/objective of this report will be the following: * The types and range of communication skills you have used, and an awareness of the care value base. * The transmission of the care values in the way you have communicated with the person concerned. * Possible barriers to communication and how you overcome these. * An evaluation of the interactions and conclusions drawn from the evidence collected. These are the objectives that I will have to look for and carry out at my nursery placement and with the children - (service user group) and then I will have to make comparisons between the interactions made.
