effective and useful in delivery the best quality care to the patient. Accurate measurement is most
important for health and social care, without correct data healthcare provider does not identify

describes its state of health condition which includes the physical, mental and social function of
the individual. Health prospective is about to complete well-being of person and diseases free
health condition which is depend on the environment and dietary preference of individual person.
There are five organization of UK which includes NHS England, Private public health sector
having the health perspective emphasize the better health quality and effective medical care for
reducing the public health issues (Wanis and et. al., 2021). Additionally, this project covers
theoretical perspectives on health and social care organisation and types of leadership in

MAIN BODY
Two theoretical perspective in health and social care organisation
Health perspective in social care provides best quality service to the public and maintain
all data related to the patient health issues. Public health issues are overcome with the help of
healthcare provider and different organization are available for reducing the public health issues
(Constantinou and et. al., 2019). There are five national organization which can deliver the health
and social care which includes NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, NHS England, Private Health Care
System and Health, Social Services There are two theoretical perspective in health and social
care which includes:-
 Functionalism:- In functionalist perspective, health is most important for the community
people and it identifies the social relation with the health care setting. In this process
health care professionals and doctor ensure about the patient recovery level and also
analysis the daily involvement of patient in their own health care treatment. The role and
responsibilities of health care professional is to control the social issues among the public
and provides the the better guidanc (Lall and Nambissan, 2020). NHS England can also
manage the relationship between patient and healthcare professional. The functionalist
approach which emphasized the effective care which is most essential for the society

ability to function. When more people suffered from the health illness which can
negatively impact on the function of society stability. The functionalism is the approaches
of implementing the norms and policies of healthcare setting for reducing the health
issues and dealing with need of individual in a society.
 Conflict perspective:- This theory describes the conflict arises due to unevenly
distribution of resource and powers between the groups and individual. In healthcare
organization people face many difficulties due to the discrimination in their medical
treatment, these health issues arises and these tension and conflict engage with the
healthcare setting. People belongs from the weak economic backgrounds are more likely
to become ill and they get the inequality in healthcare settings(Jain, 2019). Health
disparities generated by the class inequality on the basis of racism, sexism and ageism.
Poor people experiences many health issues which is causes due to the poor and
unhealthy diet, unhygienic environment. Number of minorities group of people having
the lower economic power and they having the concern of poor health issues. Low
economy people are facing conflict between the resources, powers and medical facilities
which are given to the high class of people. Such healthcare organization does not
rewarded by the patient and Private Health Care System in which disparities are shown
on the basis of individual economic status. Conflict theories analysis the inequalities in
healthcare system which are not further approved and credit in their medical facilities.
The healthcare organization does not having the appropriate planning structure, their
healthcare professional are not allowed to provide the service. The conflict perspective
helps in analysing and reducing the conflict arise due to the inequalities and providing
enough power and medical facilities to the individual person (Arksey, 2021).
These two theoretical perspective in health and social care identify the issues generated in the
healthcare setting and improves the conflict between different group of people. It is unfortunate,
people are not financially stable. These two theories should give the same medical access and
health insurance to each group of people. Private Health Care System of UK helps in managing
the issues and conflict among the public. The England organization focused on the issues and
improving the healthcare setting. Mainly focused on the minority group of people who are facing
poor health burden on their surviving.

Two type of leadership and management consided roles in health and social care
Healthcare leader work with more effective leadership style and delivery the best quality
care to the patient with safety and high quality. The effective clinical team manages and lead
resources with more appropriate power. The leaders of the healthcare organization must focused
on the clinical advanced technologies, changes in the health care pattern and rising cost. The
changes and innovation are adopted by the healthcare professional by which they can improve
their medical facilities and also improves the quality care service. Effective leadership play a
crucial in managing the culture of healthcare organization and ensuring about the complex issues
related to the healthcare delivery (Di Vaio and et. al., 2020). There are two types of leadership
style which are used in healthcare setting such as:-
Transactional Leadership style:- This leadership style involves in motivating and
directing the staff member of the healthcare organization which give the better pathway of
delivering the high quality care to the patient. This style helps engaging the staff members with
unity and make them more confident to work. The transactional leadership style focus on the
policies and function of the healthcare organization. Healthcare managers uses this leadership
style in healthcare setting by which they can provides the best quality service to the patient and
reduce the public health issues. The transactional leadership style implemented in the health and
social organization which can improves and motivated the care provider to work in a effective
manner. NHS and other private healthcare organization of England helps in motivating the
healthcare professional to work in a effective manner (Darvishmotevali and Ali, 2020). The
government of UK establish the health policies which are followed by different healthcare
centres and improves the the healthcare services.
Innovate Leadership style:- This leadership style describes about the innovative
technologies in care pathways. Healthcare professional focuses on the innovative leadership style
which can provides the clear pathway for providing the quality care to the public. The changes
generated with in the healthcare technologies are rapidly adopted by the healthcare leaders which
lead the administration of the organization. Innovative leaders work to create organizational
culture more effective which may provides the appropriate knowledge and effective information
This leadership style develops various methods and technologies that encourages the staff
members knowledge and skills by which they can provides the best effective quality services to
the patients. Healthcare executive using this leadership style to make changes in the healthcare
3

setting and also reduce the public health issues among the patient. Due to this leadership style, it
provides opportunities to the staff members for exploring their skills and knowledge and they can
fell more focuses and motivated under innovative leadership style. Healthcare professional have
main focused on reducing the public health issues with the help of different technologies and
approaches. Innovative style is more essential for implementing the healthcare policies and
procedure which can protect the organization from different conflicts and public issues (Succi
and Canovi, 2020).
Reflection:- The five organization of health and social care helps in delivering the best quality
services to the patient. NHS focused on the quality care services by which they can satisfied the
public and helps them to overcome with the health illness. Two leadership style and two
theoretical perspective helps in analysing the health issues and brings changes in the care
delivery by adopting different technologies and approaches. New technologies and innovation
bring with the help of NHS healthcare organization. All the National Health Service
organizations can show a important role in rigging the well-being care inequality (Macke and
Genari, 2019). These organization implemented the policies and rules for the healthcare
professionals.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it is concluded that prospective in health and social care
includes five organization which can helps in delivering the best quality care services to the
patient. These organization having its own healthcare sectors for the public and social care. The
five organization of UK analysis and reduced the health issue among the public. Theoretical
perspective Functionalism and conflict perspective helps in analysing the issues and motivating
the healthcare professional to focus on delivering the high quality care with safety. There are two
leadership adopted by the healthcare organization for improving the quality services. There are
various private healthcare sectors which focuses on the people who are facing many problems
