Jobs in health and social care section. The two job roles which I am going to research and describe are a GP and Receptionist.
The two job roles which I am going to describe is a GP and Receptionist. GP The GP plays an important role in the GP surgery e.g. how the GP surgery is organised, funded and how well the GP surgery is doing which is published annually by the PCT based on views from registered patients. Becoming a GP requires special skills and personal qualities such as: . Strong scientific ability as medicine the field in which the GP is in is a science. 2. Excellent communication skills. This will allow the GP to identify their patients problems accurately which will mean that they will be able to give the necessary treatments. Consequently, this will mean that the GP will have less stress and job satisfaction. Also this is beneficial to the patients too as they will understand the treatment options they have and are more likely to follow the advise due to a good relationship of trust between the patient and GP. 3. Patience. This is because treatment can take a long time. Consequently this can mean that the patient meets the GP on a regular basis hence if the Gp shows patience the patient will also be more relaxed about their treatment. Also, patience is important because the main job of the doctor is to listen to the patients needs carefully and as the patient has not undergone full medical training like the GP they would take longer understanding the solutions to their problem.

Discuss the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders
P5- Explain the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders. A strategy is a plan to deliver services to meet targets; you might prefer to think of this in the form of treatment, therapies or support. To meet this criterion, you need to consider all the types of care treatment and support that there individual is receiving. M3- Discuss the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders. Care strategies Care strategies need to be review regularly over a period of time this is done to ensure that they are in focused on the individual at the centre of the care. Medication that has been given to the individual has to also be reviews as it may have reached its time limit this means that they might become immune to it like some antibiotics people can become immune to so that this drug will not be affective. Checks have to be done to make sure that the medication is still effective and is working correctly and the patient isn’t suffering any side effects. If there are side effects occurring or the individual has become immune to their medication there will be investigations in to which alternative medication can be given to them that won’t react the same. Scans and x-rays may need to be repeated by the people that have put together the care strategy this is done so that if
communication and values
Task 1 It was a group interaction that took place on Tuesday the 12 with 7 people within a group. The client group that I had to chosen to work with was an elderly woman who had a phobia of doctors. A one to one interaction took place with a 7 year old boy in his home who has a learning disability and is easily angry. Explain the types and range of communication skills you have used in your report. Your discussion of communication must demonstrate understanding of the care value base. The types of communication skills are: * Verbal * Non verbal Group Verbal consist of the following: * Tone /Pitch - it not just what we say, but the way we say it. If we were to talk very fast in a loud voice with a fixed voice tone people may think that we are angry and shouting. Therefore they wouldn't feel comfortable talking to you. I used a appropriate tone of voice loud enough for her to hear me without actually shouting * Slang's and jargons- I did not use slang in my dialect. This is because slang is mostly associated with teenagers and also she may not understand what I was saying * Pace - the pace is the speed in which I talk. I can talk fast and I can talk slow. because she is a elderly women I would have to talk slow so that she can understand Non verbal * Gestures- an example of an gesture would be a thumbs up to refer to well done. I tried to use hand
Health and social level 3 Unit 12 Public Health
Lissa Williams Unit 12: Public Health Bryan Key aspects of public health The official definition public health is the science and art of preventing disease prolonging life and promoting health through the organised efforts of society. In 1988, a report by Sir Donald Acheson reflects the essential focus of modern public health- an emphasis on collective responsibility for health and prevention. Pass One – Describe key aspects of public health in the UK Evidence activity Aspects of public health; Monitoring the health status of the population. The study of epidemiology is the study of disease in human population. It is particularly important in helping us to understand the spread of infectious diseases and how they can lead to epidemics. Tracking changes in the health of the population and alerting people to potential problems. For example, the rising levels of obesity within the population. Meaning of epidemiological data Life expectancy has risen so much mainly because of improved housing diets, sanitation and the decline in the way infectious diseases of epidemics kill people. Identifying the health needs of population Once trends and patterns are established, the likely implications for services can be identified, In relation to obesity, this means assessing likely increase in the need for diabetes support services. Developing programmes to reduce risk
Equality diversity and rights in health and social care
________________ M2,D1 Unit 2 Equality diversity and rights in health and social care M2 Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discriminatory practice D1 Evaluate the success of a recent initiative in promoting anti-discriminatory practice In this criterion there will be an assessment on a recent national policy initiative and the way it promotes anti- discriminatory practice in health and social care. Individual’s rights within a health and social care setting include having access to services and medication. Services should not unlawfully discriminate service users due to their race, gender, disability, religion, belief, or sexuality. Another right of an individual within health and social care is being treated with respect and dignity. No matter what the persons circumstances are when using health or social care services they should always be treated fairly and with respect defiantly if they are in a vulnerable state. Communication is also another right of an individual. Every health and social care setting should have trained professionals who know how to convey effective communication to avoid assumptions and discrimination. As the patients or service users should feel comfortable talking to the staff and know
describe the pies development through the life stages
Assignment: Describe physical, intellectual, Emotional and social Development through the life stages. Unit 4 By Lilly Mampuya Lloyd Philp Due: Thursday 4th December Describe physical, intellectual, Emotional and social development through the life stages. Physical development: The physical development of a human being is unique because of all of the visible changes that every human being goes through. Physical growth results from a continuous and complex interplay between genetics and environment (nature vs. nurture). Conception- Pregnancy- A fertilised egg is called a zygote. It divides quickly to become a vacant ball of unspecialised stem cells called an embryo. In order to persist on growing and commence the process of separation, the embryo needs to access a life support system. Pregnancy begins when the embryo implants or embeds it self into the lining of the uterus wall. Week 1-2: Passage to the uterus The egg is fertilised in one of the fallopian tubes and is carried into the uterus. Week 3-4: Embryo The embryo becomes pear shaped; the embryo becomes C-shaped and a tail is visible. The umbilical cord forms and the forebrain enlarge. Week 5: Internal organs All the internal organs have begun to structure by the fifth week. During this significant stage of development, the embryo is defenceless to dangerous substance consumed by the mother (such as
