INTRODUCTIONHealth and social care practitioners require the personal as well as professionaldevelopment for attending the patients. Health care unit is termed as a place where serviceprovider helps the patients in recovering from diseases. Through their development, practitionersenhance their quality of skills, knowledge and practice to render their services to the users in thehealth care unit. By effective learning and development, learners will gain the knowledge toattend patients in the health care. Personal and professional development also helps thepractitioners to develop their skills so that they should effectively work with the others in healthand social care practice.This report focuses on understanding the personal values and principles that influencesindividual contribution at the workplace. It also focuses on producing, monitoring and revisingtheir own plan for evaluating the progress in developing their skills and abilities that are requiredat the care unit. The report also focuses on minimizing the barriers that affect the team work inhealth and social care.TASK 11.1 Personal values and principles of practitioners with the principles of service usersPersonal values and principles are the set rules or their values that they inherent whilerendering their services to the ultimate user. Personal values and principles are important for thepractitioners as this will help them in delivering quality support to the patients and vulnerableadults in the health care unit (Cassidy, 2004). For example, working as a nurse in health careunit, I have personal belief that I must give first priority to their known patients or patients oftheir same caste. This will lead to conflict with the principles of service user as it will lead tomistreatment. There are some other principles for the service provider that they respect theirpatient's privacy and their dignity by giving better treatment. These personal values and belief atHSC is not appropriate within HSC setting as providing services to the known patients result inensuring discriminatory situation. Personal values and principles of practitioners at health careunit also maintain smooth and healthy relationship with the patient's family members andrelatives. Sometimes, emotions are also act as the belief that positively and negatively affects thepractitioner’s contribution in health care unit. For example, nurses who are working in the careunit are very emotional in nature as they easily get attached with the patients and at the timewhen patients leave the unit, they feel depressed. There are certain rights that medical3
practitioners should empower while working in the health and social care unit (Hall, 2005). Theypossess rights to render high quality services to their service users that are children as well asadults. They also have the right not to assault any patients or their clients.1.2 Personal culture and experiences influences the work as an care practitionersPersonal culture is the behavior that is perceived by me at the workplace. The culture isinherent within individuals that directly affect my working and activities as a service provider.These include gender, age, their social status and nationality etc. All these terms influences theworking of care practitioners in the care unit (Harvey and Struzziero, 2008). For example, if ascare practitioner, I must focus on attending UK patients first rather than other country’s patients,it will lead to the negative impact on their activities that I will mistreat the service users andpatients and it will finally lead to harm their health. Ethnicity or quality also help the carepractitioners to work in the health care unit as it will focus on rendering quality service to theusers without any malpractices that negatively affect their health. Ethnicity helps inunderstanding different background people and supports in providing good care services thathelps them in recovering from the diseases. Care practitioners past experiences also help them inrendering quality treatment to their patients. Experiences like unexpected events in the past careunit that is of anesthesia which was not provided to the patient has a huge negative effect on theorganization. So, from this past experience or event, practitioners will keep this in mind and itwill help them in operating the patients with due care (Vrasidas and Glass, 2004). Empathy fromthe service users also influences the work of care practitioners as it will motivate them toimplement their treatment plan and it also helps practitioners to reduce the malpractices at careunit. 1.3 New development and changes to personal values can change work practicesNew developments and changes include modification in the various laws that are framedby UK government and increasing diversity at the work practices etc (Hobson, Ashby andTomlinson, 2009). It is because this will help me as care practitioners in adopting changes whichwill help the health and social care setting in accomplishing their goals that is to attend differentpatients and leads to provide them quality services that will help the patients in recovering fromthe disease. Changes in the government norms like amendment of anti-discrimination act willhelp in protecting the right of service users. With this act, as care practitioners I must attend each4
