Importance:
Effective partnership among professionals and workers of care home rely on recognition
where all party care for same goal, that is promoting health of user of service. The path of each
ne could be different but work for common agendas. Partnership could be improved by ensuring
that user of service should be placed at centre and whole approach has been taken into care. By
working together professionals can anticipate problem and much more preventive measures

The major impact on service user is enhanced accessed to the service, by which speedy

Giles, 2016)(Millar, Chambers and Giles, 2016). Family Partnership workings with family of the
service user ensuring that family feel to be equally involved into the process. The positive
relationship has been build up with concern to family, by ensuring that provision for multi-
agency service had been delivered ion time and in coordinated manner in which all must be
involved into the process. Sharing of information with family member assure that more
knowledge and understanding to the service provision.
How better outcome are delivered by partnership-
The partnership working within social and health care has focused on rendering seamless
care to the individual and dislocating fragmentation. There is major shift into the focus for
outcome to the service which is delivered.
Outcome for others and professionals-
Positive : By involving in partnership working the professionals can develop approaches for new
working, so they can get job satisfaction through autonomy and creativity with the help of
experience. The professional could gain confidence in themselves and enhance their relationship
among the other professional and with families (Thompson and et.al.,2018). For other service
user it can helpful for them in having appropriate access to the service and having focus of
interventions on early & preventative. The individual felt more accountable by the professional
identities.
Negative : Along with that it also had a negative impact on professional as expansion of the new
role among team can create confusion related to role among members of team and to the
2

uncertainty of role, this could also include what will be there role in new context of working. The
demarcation of role is big challenge for professionals working in partnership.
Way how Barriers of partnership working can be overcome-
There can be many barriers of partnership working which have been faced by
maintaining mutual respect among agencies that are involved into the service user's care. This
may be concern about the role which have been played by the care home in identifying and
managing the subtle change into condition of older people.
 They must emphasis on developing good quality of relationship, that is based on trust
within agency and equality among relationship.
 Communication system should be more equitable and compatible along with 'Joined-up'
working will be enhanced through common paper work (Cunningham and et.al.,2018).
 Appropriate communication among agency is important for the good partnership
workings. As some staff members can feel isolated and thus it can be eliminated by
developing support network and reaching out to the another group partner.
 The views of patients should also be taken into consideration by carer so that they can
render effective services to the individuals.
 Promoting and developing individual relationship and contacts with patients helps the to
render better service access, sharing of the information to the patients.
 Organization and individual group of staff require to work for having a better pro-active
approach towards care and developing better understandings of their role's strength.
 Joint training can also be helpful in promoting effective working in partnership among
social and health care.
 The effective training of care home staff declines demand of professionals in healthcare
and enhance assessment for social care and communication among professional.
It is essential for maintaining a professional approach along with values and principles of
workplace. The clear objective and task are to set for colleagues that could be specific, smart,
measurable, realistic, achievable and on the basis of time scale (Randall and Neubeck, 2016).
While setting objective colleagues are to be involved in process of decision-making. Individual
responsibility is to support their colleagues and rendering them feedbacks and suggestions
regarding that how they can enhance their performance. The needs of each team member must
3

also be considered and acknowledged. The regular team meeting is helpful in providing
opportunity that colleagues can share the information and form decision and render support to
the team members.
Evaluating procedure of working with the other professional-
There has been system in the place for monitoring and reviewing progress. In this
significance of agreeing on timescale and outcome at beginning of partnership is essential. The
evaluation is being carried further by monitoring, measuring and reviewing progress that had
been developed against set outcome (Slade, 2017). Report on regular process must be produced.
If this procedure is working appropriate with all professional then this will have positive
outcome in further that are professional approach, coordination among service provision, clear
responsibility and role, mistakes can be prevented, organized communication, avoiding
duplicacy etc., It is not working well then this could have negative impact that are
miscommunication, professional rivalry, fund's mismanagement and wasting of time.
The procedure of working with the others for ensuring the best method is to be utilized
and interaction has to be passed on to other party effectively and further understood by them.
Ensuring that all other parties are to be happy with process and asking for input in any particular
change this could be felt which can helpful in making it more effective (Smith and Hamling,
2019). The positive outcome would result in enhanced service, autonomy, empowerment,
decision-making. Negative outcome state in abusing, neglecting, harming, miscommunication,
anger, confusion, service provision's duplication, overload of information and disempowerment.
Professional supervision practice in social and health care or children-
Own practice for managing situation of conflicts-
It is very essential to manage the conflicts in various situation. Various priorities,
philosophies, principle and code of practices could have positive effect on team working by
rendering thorough look that how team should work for gaining the best outcome for the service
user. If there are any conflicts among these then it could have negative impact due to the
inconsistencies which can result into confusion among workplace. For example- The ability for
meeting all partners and agencies need could be difficult if there is any conflict among them. In
social care health care workers had to deals with each among, multi company's discipline that are
family, GP's and friends of the service users (McKimm, 2017). There are some style which could
4

be adopted for dealing with dilemmas and conflicts. Competitive style could adopt by individual
who is involved in conflicts which has superior power. It can be useful in the emergency
situation when an individual needs a fast resolution into the problems. Other style is
collaborative where needs of the individual are included. In rendering the care helpful in
balancing need and demand of the service user and requirement of organization. For solving
conflicts an individual to make sure for having a good relationship on first priority. Issues should
be identified while being honest and open toward the team. Listening effectively and then talking
in that context with the application of non-judgemental approach.
Access to the healthcare for an individual-
Effectiveness of the existing communication practice and system-
The one-to-one communication system is being used which is helpful in supporting
individual for meeting their needs in healthcare and social care. It enhances the interaction
among the healthcare professionals and patient so that problems can be easily meet up. This
communication practice render the professionals to work effectively without any conflicts and
work accordingly. If there is good communication system among the professional then they can
easily render great services ahead and treat the patient well (Frew and et.al., 2017). They could
also get through the needs and demand of the patient and thus effective care could be provided to
them. The positive effect of existing communication system in health care are that quality care
can be given to the patient in such a way that they can be cured soon. The proper interaction
among the health care professional and care receiver can also be managed through the
communication system by which requirement of patients could be fulfilled. Along with that there
are some negative impacts also that if there is no communication in the healthcare then the needs
and demand of patients can't be fulfilled and thus they can't be able to deliver great quality
services to their patient.
Rights of other significant to individual included in healthcare service planning-
The care users have several rights which must be taken into consideration by them across
their care. The overall information should be received and acknowledged by them. Proper and
quality care must be given to them across receiving the service. The healthcare professional must
treat all the individual with respect and value their emotions this must be considered by them.
This all is basic rights that are included into the healthcare service planning (Baillie, 2016). It can
have both negative and positive effect on the care of individual that is included in the overall
5

planning of healthcare services which is effectively considered by health professional and care
receiver. The positive impact of such is that it would help individual to get quality services
within the care. There needs and demand could be significantly fulfilled. Negative impact of this
is that individual could not be able to get through great services ahead. And thus there will be
lackeness among the services and thus individual would not be facilitated by the services. Each
and every individual had right to get proper care from healthcare professionals which is there
basic rights, and they must give overall quality service to them.
Supporting other for raising challenges and concern in healthcare services-
The raising concern and challenges in healthcare is important in enhancing practice. Rise
in concern is to be recognized as developing an essential contribution to the safety of patient,
safeguarding life and further doing so. There are many challenges faced by health care
professional while managing concern related to the health. Raising concern have been taken into
consideration such as care or treatment, poor communication, staff's attitude, lack of information
and waiting times. The patient should be treated with courtesy and respect. Support is to be
offered for raising your concern. The quick solution is to be given to patient in such a way that it
is helpful in raising the overall care. Better interaction among healthcare professional and staff
and thus further changes are to be implemented along with that there are some challenges also if
services are not rendered effectively then for clinical negligence they had to bear financial
compensation and legal action further (Agyenim-Boateng, Stafford and Stapleton, 2020). There
are many other complaints which are to be faced by the healthcare professional which have
negative impact on the healthcare professional as well as patients so this all must be considered
while rendering services to the patients. This also have a positive impact on the healthcare
professional as they could be able to provide proper care and treatment to the patient and thus
overall quality service could be further received by them in great way. It is essential for
healthcare provider to be more professional and valued while providing services and care to the
patients.
CONCLUSION

essential and it is helpful in providing the services to the patients effectively. This could also be

patients. Thus, through this they can easily maintain the communication among patient and
