1TASK 4Health and social care is a dynamic profession and professionals need to improve theirskills, knowledge and competence in delivering best quality of care. The core principle of careare involved in this profession include social justice, service, autonomy, competence, integrity,dignity, worth of individual and importance of human relationships. Therefore, the followingassignment focuses on reflection on working with others in health and social care practice. While working with others, I witnessed that I possess key strengths of effectivecommunication skills, sense of empathy and problem solving. Effective communication skills areimportant for health and social care professionals because it helps them to establish relationshipsand demonstrate compassionate care and support (Weller, Boyd and Cumin 2014). In my worksetting, I deal with variety of clients belonging to diverse backgrounds and therefore,demonstration of strong non-verbal and verbal communication skills is necessary. Goodcommunications helps me to support my clients who are vulnerable by understanding theirconcerns that is integral to my profession. I am able to understand the feelings of my clients bybeing empathetic and facilitating me to make an accurate diagnosis and caring treatment. I amcompassionate and empathetic towards my colleagues and clients that play a vital role inenhancing patient experiences and establishing physician-patient relationships. Problem-solvingskills are also important to solve the problems that one encounter in daily life. It helps me towork efficiently with my colleagues and clients as it prepares me to manage workplacesituations. I have realized that being a problem solver I am able to manage risks and actproactively to shape the working environment. It helps me to analyse problems, identify severityof problem and assess impact of solutions to work efficiently with colleagues and clients. However, I analysed that I lack leadership skills, cultural competency and time-management. My poor leadership skills are affecting the delivery of care and serious failures at
2TASK 4my workplace. I am unable to manage and resolve disagreements between fellows andcolleagues, it has a negative impact on my working profession, and therefore, I need to developflexibility in my personality. I also lack cultural competency, as I am unable to communicatewith clients belonging to different cultures and demonstrate safe practice. This culturalincompetency can contribute to disparities in healthcare and there is ineffective provider-patientrelationship. Cultural competency is critical for establishing trust among providers so that theycan show greater adherence to medical treatment and report better patient satisfaction within thehealth and social care (Betancourt et al. 2016). I also lack the ability to manage time effectivelyand as a result, I face significant problems while controlling situations like increased demandsfor services. I also face difficulty in managing concurrent responsibility of case management inhealth and social care and crisis coverage. Therefore, I need to develop these skills to performmy role and responsibilities within the health and social care. Several barriers are witnessed to effective team working like poor communication,unclear goals and lack of leadership skills. Within the health and social care, professionals needto work within a multidisciplinary team bringing together skills, disciplines and experiencesrequired to support clients in meeting their needs (Cameron et al. 2014). When there is open andhonest communication within team members, they complete tasks more efficiently andaccurately. Effective communication also allows team members in understanding their individualroles and responsibilities and roles of others in the team. I try to work efficiently within my teamas a part of providing services to the clients especially marginalized and disjointed people whodoes not receive required level of care. Unclear goals and lack of direction are the biggestbarriers to effective team working as it is impossible to predict expected outcomes due toundefined roles (Dixon-Woods et al. 2013). It takes long time in defining, communicating goals
