Principles of Health and Social Care Practice - Assignment_2

IntroductionIn the modern context of the Health and Social Care, it has been analysed that the principlesgoverning the care for the service users are required to be established in the workingparameters of the Health and Social Care organisations in the UK. It has been seen that thepolicies and the legislations provide a useful framework for the establishment of effectivesocial care practices in the UK. Therefore, in this study, the different aspects of the Healthand Social Care in the UK along with the policies and the legislations at the national as wellas the organisational level have been discussed (www.bupa.co.uk, 2016). Task 1 (Refer to Booklet)1.1 Explaining the application of principles of support in the Health and Social CarepracticeA number of principles are generally employed in order to have the superior display andprovision of the care services to the service users. These include the treatment of the serviceusers with dignity (Crawfordet al. 2010, p.190). As the patients affected with Dementia arenot able to have the active memory and lacks the cognitive decision-making ability.Therefore, the service users affected with Dementia are needed to be treated with respect inorder to ensure their mental and physical well-being in the Health and Social Care context(Koh and Sebelius, 2010, p.1298). Therefore, it may be analysed that the service providersare able to have the superior ways of providing the empowerment to the service users toprovide them with the freedom and dignity. Equality and diversity are needed to beestablished by the service providers to have the desired levels of Health and Social Careservices to the service users that are affected with Dementia. 1.2 Procedures implemented to protect the clients, patients and colleagues from harmA number of improved policies have been made, that protects the service users from theunusual situations in the locality as well as the Health and Social Care organisations. It hasbeen seen that the policies at the local and the national levels, allow them to be preventedfrom the harms. Furthermore, the personalised planning may be implemented by the serviceproviders to protect the users from harm. This is simultaneously followed by the riskassessment plan from the service providers that protect the service users from harms,accidents and abuses (Richardson and Asthana, 2013, p.664). Working in partnership is another method that provides protection to the service users, as alarge number of authorities are involved in the provision of the care services. Further, therecord-keeping may be considered as one way in which the accidents and harms on theservice users may be reduced. The records contain the information about the previous

incidents of the service user, and this provides useful information to the service providers toprotect the service users (Mhurchuet al. 2010, p.62). 1.3 Advantages of following the person-centred approach in the Health and Social CareservicesIt has been established that the person-centred approach involves the incorporation of astandard level of care by the service providers to the service users. In this case, the serviceusers are able to establish the effective levels of communication with the service users and asa result of which, they are able to assess the areas of comforts and discomforts of the serviceusers. If these conditions are not provided to the Dementia patients, abuses and accidents mayresult. These information allows them to prepare a risk assessment plan and as a result ofwhich, the service users are protected from the unusual sources of abuses and accidents in thelocality and in the Health and Social Care organisation (Paul, 2015, p.222).A number of advantages are evident on account of the person-centred care approach and thisincludes the improved physical health of the service users, as a result of the intensive care bythe professionals. As a result of the increased levels of communication with the service users,the physical conditions of the individuals are improved. Moreover, this allows them to havethe increased levels of freedom thereby empowering them in their decisions (Pollard, 2011,p.16). 1.4 Explaining the ethical dilemmas and conflicts in providing the care to the serviceusersFinancial resources are the major causes of the dilemma to the provision of the superiorquality of care to the service users. The cultures form another important aspect that preventsthe service users from receiving the formal levels of care by the service users. In this case, thecultural differences between the service providers and the service users allow them to havethe lack of the information about the service users. This leads to the dilemma in the carepractice (Rosenthal, S. and Zimet, G. (2010et al. 2010, p.20). Other reasons for the cause ofthe dilemma include the lack of the provision of the appropriate rights to the service users, onaccount of the physical health of the service users. This has a serious impact on the careservices that are offered by the service providers. Another factor that causes the dilemma isthe limitations of the confidentiality of the information that are shared by the service users tothe service providers of the Health and Social Care organisation. This will allow me toprovide assistances to the service users in the future, due to my increased experiences in thesituation. I would provide them with freedom and dignity from the first day of my service.Task 2
