A personalised induction will always be more effective. Discuss. Base your answer on the theoretical concepts and techniques presented in class
This essay will describe the benefit to put into practice a personalised induction, as well as how to create a script, in order to tailor a personalised induction. I will also show that it is not always possible to use a personal induction on a client. There are some points to take in to consideration when doing a personalised induction. Firstly, people are different in many ways. They have different likes and dislikes, cultural backgrounds and upbringings. These factors have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. In order for the client to relax, a hypnotic induction must always have positive words and feelings, such as "you are more relaxed than you ever felt before". Negative words such as "the noise outside does not disturb you. It does not disturb you in any way", should never be used as it could produce the reverse effect. In order to have the best chance of success we need to do our best to achieve the most beneficial stat as possible. When communicating with other people it seems that we do so using language. This is not entirely true as research shows that words make up 7% of our communication, tone and volume 38% and our body language 55%. Generally in order to practice hypnosis the client will have to have their eyes closed. This is why the therapist has to be very careful on the words he uses. To be able to understand the client and to
Poverty and healthcare.
DIPLOMA IN NURSING 02/09 DN1 POVERTY AND HEALTHCARE ID NO: 13121 Submission Date: 3 February 2002 Word Count: 1,437 The aim of this assignment will be to explore poverty and how it influences peoples understanding of healthcare. I will be focussing on mental health clients and welfare benefits. I will aim to define poverty, discuss the effects it has on my client group, and their perception of healthcare. For reasons of confidentiality, pseudonyms will be used for any client referred to in this assignment. Poverty then, for most people, according to Hallawell & Brittle (1995), is a condition to which most of us strive to avoid, an unacceptable concept which is far removed from modern day living, and only affects 3rd World countries or was from past eras. Poverty is a term with negative connotations, associated with words such as deprivation and lack. Being poor is to lack what others - the 'comfortable' possess. It is a stain or stigma on an individuals or social group's identity ( Brooking, Ritter and Thomas 1992). There are two categories of poverty - absolute and relative poverty. Both these definitions have an adverse influence on an individuals health. (Calman 1997) Absolute, as defined by Walsh Stephens and More (1999) is basic human needs in terms of shelter, clothing and food. Anything less than minimum standard needed to live on, was said to be
Critical Success Factors of e-prescribing.
Critical Success Factors of e-prescribing Introduction E prescribing is thought to provide number advantages to the medical profession and more specifically the prescribing process once successful implementation has been achieved This short essay will the critical success factors required to achieve success and identify the key benefits that can be realised as a result of e prescribing According to the Audit Commission report entitled 'A Spoon full of Sugar' 1200 patients die each year as a result of prescribing and medication errors. Nick Mapstone, one of the principal authors of the report predicts that as much as 70% of such errors can be eliminated via the use of computerised prescribing systems. But how do we achieve success? Achieving Success: Critical Success Factors Mark Horsely has worked the NHS for many years and has acquired experience in the practical implementation of Electronic prescribing systems. As a clinical manger he helped manage a number of successful electronic prescribing projects. According to Mark the key too improving patient care via the use of computerised clinical systems will mean many problems of the current manual system will be eliminated. For instance obvious problems such as poor handwriting and transcription errors between prescriber and pharmacy are eliminated. The benefits go further than this to the extent that that any

Role of Radiography in Modern Imaging Service Introduction The Department of Health (2010) defines interventional radiology as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery or medical interventions achieved by using radiological imaging guidance. The need to improve equity of interventional radiology is recognised by the Department of Health in their publications; 'Interventional Radiology: Guidance for Service Delivery' (2010) and 'Interventional Radiology: Improving Quality Outcomes for Patients (2009). It is also recognised within the Department of Health White Paper Equity and Excellence; Liberating the NHS (2010). The National Confidential Enquiry (2005-2009) into patient outcomes and deaths clearly illustrates inequalities in provision. It reported, over a four year period, poor and inconsistent provision, throughout the country of both diagnostic and interventional radiological services. However there are many factors, or arguably constraints, such a geographical, financial, workforce and workload that currently impede equity in service provision. The 'Interventional Radiology; Guidance for Service Delivery' (2010) aims to guide local service development of interventional radiology through summarising clinical evidence and by illustrating how successful imaging services have been set up in such a way that enables good quality, equitable care by skilled

Empowerment in nursing practice The purpose of the assignment is to explore the principles of empowerment in nursing practice. This essay will discuss the definitions of health promotion and empowerment, and how the two are interlinked. I will also be talking about my artefact and which health promotion models have been used to enable the production of my artefact, together with the reason behind my design. The main topic within this essay focuses on testicular cancer awareness because it is widely believed to be on the increase, and psychologically this is a difficult subject to discuss with men; this issue will also be addressed. My clothing tag booklet is designed to increase testicular cancer awareness, provide information on self examination and stress the importance of early detection. Testicular cancer remains one of the leading cancers in young men ages 15- 35 years (Cancer Research UK 2003). Since the late 1970s incidence rates have doubled, however there is no evidence to suggest the cause behind this increase. (Orchid Cancer Appeal 2005). It is estimated that 1 in 210 men in the UK will develop this form of cancer by the time they are 50. (Orchid cancer appeal 2005). My artefact will therefore be designed to target young men between the age of 15-35. Research suggests that a large percentage of men are unaware of the risk of this disease and only 3% regularly
Elderly people in Residential Care.
Elderly people in Residential Care The New Labour Government is committed to raising the care service standard for elderly and children. On taking office in 1997, the government acknowledged there are many problems and failures in the care service left by the Tory legacy. Labour decided to modernise the service to counter the problems and crisis faced in the care service. Policy consultants of the Better Service Task Force are reviewing a wide-ranging of current welfare provisions in the UK. This report aims persuade the government as part of the modernisation programme there is a need to bring a change in the Residential Care for elderly as there has been a growing concern at the poor level of service provided in institutional homes. Care homes should provide a quality of service meeting the needs of the residents as in a normal setting. However, the institutionalised nature of the care has many negative impacts on the residents' as they perceive it is as negative form of care and a service denying independence, autonomy, privacy, power and other principle of human rights. Elderly are abused and neglected in some care homes while large proportion of staff caring for them are untrained and incompetent in caring. Funding for elderly care is major issue, on one extreme elderly are being forced to pay for care and on the other local authorities struggle to manage service within
Unit 10 care practice and provision
Pippa Douglas Unit 10 care practice and provision National organisations like National health service (NHS) that provide health care fit for the 21st century, is designed around the service user, so that they get the individual care they need. It is divided into 'primary' and 'secondary' services, Primary services are usually the first place people contact for health advice or treatment, the service is provided locally to the particular person's home by GPs, nurses or therapists and secondary health services are based in hospitals which provide medical or surgical care. They are provided and supported by the NHS national organisations called primary care trusts (PTCS). PCTS research areas from national websites such as statistics finding the census population numbers, and find out what the people of a particular area are lacking regarding health care, they deal with providing primary and community services, and commission secondary services. They do this in order to determine what the area needs to make sure that it can provide the people with adequate services to improve the health of the local people within the area. The national PCT received back over 140,000 of completed questionnaires, surveys and listening events form where they got some opinions, feedback and statistics. Local PCTS, working with the national PCTS, the NHS, and the council work together, to

Fact Essay INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is to carry out an assessment of a patient and present a plan of care of three specific problems that the patient has encountered. The model chosen to guide the care plan is the Roper, Logan and Tierney's Model of Nursing (Roper et al 2000). This will enable me to develop my skills in assessment, problem-solving and planning care. The essay will begin by introducing the patient and outlining the rationale for choice. Following this, I will identify and discuss the care required through all stages of the nursing process (Roper et al 2000). I will discuss this in relation to assessment of three patient needs. I plan to show an understanding of holistic care and how it is used in each stage of the nursing process. Pseudonyms will be used in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2004) which states that "you must guard against all breaches of confidentiality by protecting information from improper disclosure at all times. CHOSEN PATIENT AND RATIONALE FOR CHOICE Jane is 81 years old, widow who lives alone in a bungalow, married for 54 years and has 2 daughters, one of which lives abroad and the other locally. She stated she has had a good life with many memories and had travelled to several countries with her late husband. She had enjoyed going to dance halls and outdoor bowling.

The emphasis was on reform or damnation, after nearly a century of telling people what not to do attitudes began changing. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommend "advocacy, enablement, and mediation " as effective methods (Baric L. 1996:129), defining modern health promotion as, "...the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health." (Ewles L, Simnett I. 1999: 23) Nurses are ideal health promoters as they are present at significant moments in their patients' lives (DoH 1999:132); they have long been required to be competent in "advising on the promotion of health and the prevention of illness..."

Social work assessments are an art and a science.
The assessment took place after an initial referral from social services that Mrs P was entitled to day-care at the Apna Ghar daycentre. A NHS single adult overview was provided which I referred to, however the agency has to carry out there own assessment to gain a broader understanding of the services users needs in order to facilitate appropriate care for them. I liased with my line manager and social services for additional information before evaluating it all and arranging a home visit to carry out the contact assessment. Mrs P is a very vulnerable elderly lady with severe physical and emotional needs, which consist of depression, social isolation, communication and poor mobility. Mrs P is also fed through a peg and is on various medications. Mrs P cannot communicate at all due to a major stroke. Mrs P's daughter in law is her main carer however she is no longer able to provide care for Mrs P, as she has five children and is having great difficulty in caring for both an managing the household. Therefore a referral was made to the day centre. Due to Mrs P's communication problems she is unable to communicate her needs, wishes and feelings. Consequently the assessment and care plan were carried out with the family. Assessment is a key element in social work practice and without it practitioners would be left to react to situations and intervene in an unplanned and
