MAIN BODY
Reflection on Adults
1. Description of what happens
Patients at National Health Service (NHS) are engaged in acquiring the services which
are delivered to them effectively and in appropriate manner. Patients at NHS are incurring and
taking services which help them to recover quickly specifically the adults. The healthcare
services are government funded which helps adults in knowing aspects of how services are to be
taken accordingly (Hazlehurst and et.al., 2020). Adult patients at NHS are provided with various
facilities which helps them recover from problems, and they ensure in taking treatment
successfully which engages them resulting to proper treatment. This helped me in analyzing and
evaluating the basis on which the adult treatment is properly provided to patients so that they can
cure themselves of diseases or any type of illness which they are recovering from.
2. Thoughts/feelings about that incident/situation
I felt through this situation that the adults are incurring the services, facilities and
products which are made available to them during their illness and treatment. I also analyzed that
facilities which are being provided to adults for their treatment helps in knowing how effectively
and in appropriate manner services are being made available to the adults during their treatment
or illness. I also had the thought which emerged in my mind concerning the effectiveness of
services which are being provided to adults. In this situation, I also evaluated that services are
effectively acquired and the treatment to adults was analyzed. This also helped me in knowing
that NHS is providence of best services which aims in treating the adult patients in this situation
significantly.
3. Improvement and prevention from happening
There are various ailments and diseases which the adult patients are suffering from in
NHS. For the ailments and illnesses to be improved, I recommend there should be proper
treatment provided to the adult patients so that they are able to take care of themselves and incur
the treatment properly (Crispi and et.al., 2018). There are improvement and prevention which
3

should be taken seriously by the patients so that they are able to take care of the patients at large
scale. I recommend that some preventive measures should be taken care of so that the treatment
works in positive manner enabling the adults to recover from the illness or ailment. There can be
various steps of improvements which can be taken for improvement in the health of adults
properly.
4. What is to be done if happened again
If any illness or ailment happens again to the adult patients then they are advised to
consult the doctors at NHS and start proper treatment by consulting them. This helps the patients
in knowing what are the steps in treating their ailments and illnesses so that they cure properly.
This will help adults in analyzing their health so that they take care of how the treatment process
and illness is cured. If the problem happens again then the adults should concern the doctors so
that they are able to analyze and evaluate the perspectives of how effective the treatment can be
done further. I will recommend that if any type of illness or ailment happens again to the adults
then they should incur proper treatment.
Reflection on mental health
1. Description of what happens
Patients are dealing with mental health problems at NHS. And I have analyzed that they
are suffering from depression which has created problem for patients. This is main issue which
has been identified within mental health of patients and how they are dealing with this illness
(Simpson and et.al., 2021). I have also analyzed that people in depression are seeking their
treatment from NHS and this has effectively evaluated how to deal with such illness by seeking
proper treatments so that individuals are able to cure themselves by following steps of treatment
in appropriate manner. I have noticed that how individuals are engaged in taking care of their
mental health by taking preventive measures which helps them in regaining their self-confidence
so that they can easily come out of depression.
2. Thoughts/feelings about that incident/situation
4

I felt through the situation that NHS also has patients which are suffering from mental
illness such as depression. This has made me analyze the various aspects of how the patients at
NHS are dealing with their life and taking treatment for this mental illness. Through my
perspective, I feel that mental health should be taken care of and the patients of NHS should take
care of their mental illness as depression illness among this young and adult generation is very
likely to fall into. I feel that the patients of depression should take special treatment so that they
are able to analyze what are the preventive measures which are to be taken care of in appropriate
manner. This is what I have been feeling.
3. Improvement and prevention from happening
This problem of depression, which has been analyzed enables how to improve illness so
that it be prevented from happening. To prevent depression, I will recommend to sleep enough,
exercise regularly, eating health food etc. These are major prevention which enable how
effectively and in appropriate manner depression can be treated from happening (Ormel and
et.al., 2019). This will help in making and framing the scales through which depression can be
cured so that patients are able to ensure how effectively patients are taking care of their health.
These are the improvement measures helps in enabling ho the patients are taking care of
themselves. I have also analyzed that depression can also be cured by communicating the
problems and issues patients are facing in their personal and professional behaviors.
4. What is to be done if happened again
If the patient suffers again from depression then antidepressants and psychotherapy
should be done of patients so that they are able to gain their confidence and improve their
behavior with others by communicating effectively (Haberler and et.al., 2017). I feel that these
two measures which are being described for permanent ailment of the depression as an ailment
should be considered so that all measures are taken into consideration during treatment of
depression. For depression to not happen again among patients at NHS, I recommend that proper
medication and steps of treatment should be focused on gaining so that patients are able to
5

improve their mental health and safely come out of depression illness. I was able to analyze the
effects of how the mental health problems are cured effectively.
Reflection on mothers and babies
1. Description of what happens
The role of midwife is being explained in mothers and baby category. I have learned that
the midwife is person who takes care of women who are pregnant, throughout labor and early
postnatal period. This is how midwives take care of pregnant women by taking care of how
effectively they are concerned in providing services which are related to their health and
providing them information regarding same (Rahman and et.al., 2018). I have also analyzed that
midwives also works in partnership with NHS. This helps them in taking care of pregnant
women so that they are guided and provided by all information during their pregnancy period
and before that too. I have also analyzed that Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) helps
midwifery in denoting their role towards pregnant women.
2. Thoughts/feelings about that incident/situation
I feel that the role of midwife is the best role as they take care of the women who are
pregnant, teenage mother, disabled mothers, mothers from diverse ethnic backgrounds and
mother who are socially excluded. This has helped me in knowing the role of midwives and how
they are taking care of the women at NHS. I also feel that midwives are the best source through
which all information is made available and this ensures that how effectively they are
contributing their role towards the women and babies during the period of pregnancy in NHS. I
also feel positive towards the contribution which is made by the Midwives towards the health
and social care services which are provided to the women at NHS effectively.
3. Improvement and prevention from happening
I feel that if there is any problem or issue which is occurring for the midwives enables in
knowing the perspectives as to how the midwives should deliver their roles and responsibilities
within NHS (Reid and et.al., 2019). I ensure that this will help in channelizing role of midwives
6

as to how they should take care of the pregnant women and babies at NHS which helps in
evaluating aspect through which all essential measures are taken care of during the providence of
services and information to women and babies. There can be preventive measures and steps
which can be taken to ensure so that the midwives are able to deliver their responsibilities in
talking care of the pregnant women before pregnancy and after pregnancy by taking care of
them.
4. What is to be done if happened again
I believe that if midwives do not deliver their roles and responsibilities properly then
strict action should be taken against them within NHS so that they are able to identify what are
the problems and issues which are making them take care of the mother and babies less. Regular
checkups of the mother and babies should be ensured so that the babies are able to create value
as to how effective and in appropriate manner they should take care of the mothers and babies. I
recommend that of the midwives are not able to deliver effective roles within the NHS then they
should be provided guidance as to what should be done to take care of the mother and babies.
This should be done effectively.
Reflection of learning disabilities
1. Description of what happens
Learning disability is being explained which describes reduced intellectual ability and
ongoing difficulty in everyday activities. This includes socializing or managing money, working
on household tasks etc. I have analyzed that in this explanation, learning ability is often confused
with dyslexia and mental health problems. In this Mencap, describes dyslexia as learning
difficulty because it does not affect the intellect (Pullen and et.al., 2017). This is how the
effective measures can be taken into account which explains that learning disability is the major
problem among the patients at NHS. I have analyzed that the learning disability is the problem
which patients are facing within NHS. This comes under the mental health problem which
determines that the learning disability is the same as mental health issue among patients at NHS.
7

2. Thoughts/feelings about that incident/situation
I feel that learning disability is the most common mental health problem which helps in
reviewing the aspects of how the mental health is to be taken care of. I have also observed that
people with learning disability tend to take longer to learn and also they need to develop and
analyze new skills, understand information which is complex, and interaction with other people.
This is how I feel about the aspects of learning disability and which helps in enabling how
effectively the measures of learning disability is known. I have also observed that some learning
disabilities also need some special concentration and focus towards them which need full- time
care and support and this may also include physical disabilities at large scale within NHS.
3. Improvement and prevention from happening
I recommend various aspects as to how the prevention and improvement for learning
disabilities can be done so that the patients at NHS are taken care of in proper way. This will
help in evaluating and analyzing the basic aspects of how the learning disabilities are improved.
This can be done with the help of avoidance of drugs, alcohol before and after the patients are
found to be disabled in learning (Tubele, 2021). By early screening of the learning disability
being found they can be cured effectively and in appropriate manner. By eating healthy and
regular check ups the patients with learning disabilities can be cured effectively and in
appropriate manner. I have observed and realized that through proper treatment the disabilities
can be cured effectively.
4. What is to be done if happened again
I have observed that if this happens again then there are some serious preventive
measures which are constituted for knowing the aspects of how the learning disabilities are
treated effectively and in appropriate manner (Fletcher and et.al., 2018.). I will recommend that
if there are any learning disabilities which are found within the patients then proper treatment
should be provided to them by ensuring proper medication and services which are provided by
NHS. This will ensure that how effectively and in appropriate manner aspects of removing this
disability is being done at large scale. Therefore, I have also observed that with the help of
8

proper treatment children suffering from learning disabilities will be taken care of and this will
help in ensuring aspects of taking care of mental health.
