legal and policy landscape for health and social care
practitioners: State government and other different related
bodies hold responsibility to perform functions that are related
to legislative and executive. All these functions are of
independent in nature within parliament and execution of these
laws and policies are formally ensured by executive office.
Health is a human right that creates a legal obligation to ensure
affordable and acceptable health care for all along with timely
access to medical care. It is essential of every health care unites
to treat every individual in an ethical and legal manner without
any discrimination. In this report discussions have been made
on, key feature of legislature, code of conduct along with
relationship in between legislation and national policy. Making
and designing legal and policies for social and health care, is
very much responsible work for different bodies, which use to
come together are performing these operations. Therefore,
bodies which took part in this process are those which are very
much reputed and also are able to make policies which are
beneficial for society. Roles of different bodies which use to
play important role in development of legal and policies for
health and social care are as follow: -
Legislature: In this section, the bodies which took part in this
area, assemblies and parliament of nation. As it is very much
important for a nation before making any law to pass it from
their parliament, so that it can get clear that different political
entities get knowledge about it and they think that yes it is
beneficial for society. After this, the policy went to health and
social care trust of the nation, so that they can read and gather
required information about it. After making it sure that it is
good for society, they use to pass it and allow nation to follow
that rule.
Judiciary: After get pass from parliament and assemblies of
nations along with health and social care trust, policy go under
higher court of the nation, so that they also can make study of it
and list it in constitution of the nation as an article. After this,
policy become legal law for nation, which society and different
health and social care have to follow.
In addition to this it is also important for health care
practitioner to treat every individual on equal basis and provide
them affordable treatment. Along with this it is important for
health care units to abide all necessary legislation such as risk
base emergency management programmer and equality in
treatment as to conduct their services in best effective manner.
Role of Ethics in informing health, care and support
service practice:
Ethics, in healthcare refer to specific codes of conduct as
well as effective practices supporting values and beliefs of a
certain healthcare organization. As reflected in the case
study, where care standards were unmet in Mid-
Staffordshire NHS Trust found, resulting in death, ethics
could help in informing health, care as well as support
service practice. Hospital by facilitating their services within
proper code of conduct can get the desired outcomes and
help their employees to understand their actual roles and
responsibilities. The standards of healthcare facilities should
be applied and they must have eligible needs. The authorities
must consider the needs of person and providing effective
interventions at right time for escalating and helping people
to maintain the independence for longer time.
Own national system:
Government of a nation provides an adequate support to an
organization giving health, care and support services through
providing them funds, giving relaxation in the tax payments
etc. It encourages them to facilitate customers through
providing health care services at an affordable price. In
relation to this, it is important for a hospital to provide all
possible health care facilities to their patients without any
discrimination on the basis of their caste, greed and color.
Healthcare professionals must know the importance of
achieving a balance between the well-being of an individual and
the person who is taking care of the patient. There should not be
restriction on rights and freedom of any individual which is
involved in exercising of functions. The standards cannot be
achieved simply by crisis management, it should include a
determination on preventing care and support needs and
supporting people to live independently. There are several tasks,
which could support practices in meeting these standards. For
instance, while provision of healthcare, certain information is
required to be acquired in relation to provide care. A task which
could ensure meeting national standard is establishing an effective
safety system which could keep their information confidential.
Another example is providing effective accessibility of services to
patients regardless their race, gender, etc. These tasks would help
in ethical practices in meeting of national professional standards.
