INTRODUCTION
Personal and professional development is a systematic and planned approach to develop
skills and talents required to match with the professional standards. This is the initiative taken by
an individual himself or herself to enhance capabilities for the career progression in the particular
field. I am a care worker in the health and social sector organization which provides treatments
for cancer. I would like to pursue my career in the field by developing required personal values
and principles that will influence my contribution in services provided to the patients. The
present report is prepared to elucidate different components of personal and professional
development in relevance to the working in health and social care.
TASK 1
1.1 Comparing personal values and principles in health and social care
Personal values and principles in health and social care influence the manner in which
employees process their works that they are assigned. These values and principles influence the
decision making process in the organization along with the actions taken by the care workers.
Values such as dignity, respect, confidentiality, choice, privacy, independence and others have
the significant impact on the efficiency level and productivity of the organization. By
incorporating these values in the services provided to the patients: Dignity: Heath and social sector is the area where service users feel high degree of
intrusion to their lives. It is imperative for the care takers not to feel humiliating and
demean them. Considering the fact, I always maintain the dignity of patients as well as let
them feel worthy and value their existence (Busse, Aboneh and Tefera, 2014). Confidentiality: It is necessary for the care worker to keep the information of patients and
concerned people confidential and complying with the law of right to private life. I
respect the personal information of service users handled by me in all aspects. Independence: It refers to providing sense of own capability to the patients. Disability or
any disease does not bound them to enhance any skill. My efforts are always towards
providing support to the patients for retaining their independence. Respect: It is a trait that I possess to give people positive environment and value their
individuality. Respect benefits the care worker to function all the tasks properly (Honey
and Mumford, 2006).

 Protection: Along with providing treatment, it is the prime responsibility of care taker to
protect the service user. As they are vulnerable, they can be easily targeted and
approachable. I protect my patients from any kind of abuse of mistreatment from others.
1.2 own personal culture and experience would influence the support you would give to the
service user
Personal culture plays a vital role in the working at health and social sector. I have gained
considerably with the working at care center to cure cancer patients. From my experienced at the
institute, I have learned that personal values such as respect, empathy and care significantly help
patient to come out of the disease and experiencing less pain from that. I have worked as a
subordinate of the chief care taker. I have learned different aspects of caring and supporting
patients. Both of my parents are in medical field, they are practicing medicine. Therefore, I have
been growing in the environment of serving patients with the utmost care and treatment. Thus,
these qualities are naturally imbibed in me. Further, in my education, I have gained formal
training to practice in this field that built in me preciseness and discipline. Undergoing through
different stages of development, I have the knowledge of treating service users and helping them
to heal faster.
1.3 Impact of new development and persona values on the working in health and social care
Working in social sector gets influenced by number of factors that surround it.
New research
With the advancement in technology and new research happening in medical and health
care, there are new ways of treatment that are getting introduced. Due to this, new ways are
adopted by care takers to treat their patients.
New targets
Scenario of health and social sector is changing in its essence as earlier it was confined to
provide treatments through medicines and related methods whereas at present, various ancillary
services are provided to heal the disease of service users such as meditation, palliatric treatments,
yoga that help them to recover faster (Bolton, 2010).
Priorities
It has been seen that there is significant change occurred in the priorities of health and
social sector. It gets broadened with the inculcation of various other elements in it.
