INTRODUCTIONWorking in partnership with health and social care organisation brings together twoseparate institutions. Partnership can be formed between ranges of individuals, agencies or firmswith shared interests. This is because the both organisations can benefit from pooled expertise,resources and power sharing. Further, the aim of having a partnership is to boost the efficiencyand quality of service provision. Moreover, it has been observed that partnership working hasbeen determined to have advantages for workers, also it has been found to give more clarityregarding roles and responsibilities. The following report is on Akari Care Ltd., UK which and aims as demonstratingpartnership philosophies and relationships in care service. This will also include theories that willpromote positive working with users of services and outcomes of partnership working forservices users, professionals and organisations in health and social care services. TASK 11.1 Explain the philosophy of working in partnership in health and social care The meaning of partnership is organization i.e. Akari Care Ltd works in partnership withvarious agencies, medical firms, and other organizations to serve quality services within the firm.It has been found that the health & social care partnership is very crucial because it opens wideprospects for the development of closer co-operation between organization and social workers.When in health and social care context, individuals talk regarding philosophical thoughts ofworking in partnership, which means philosophy in the first place is a state of mind which affectsthe belief, values and behaviors of people. Further, among these philosophical concepts based onpartnership working, authority sharing, empowerment, freedom, respect, liberty and makinginformed choices are some major concepts (Glasby and Dickinson, 2014). The philosophy of partnership in Akari Care concentrates on the betterment of the qualityof life of service users. This is because health care providers and social workers can set standardsof care for clients, particularly those who are entirely dependent on care givers. Further, sharingof power is the segmentation of labor among the concerned professionals engaged in thepartnership in the Akari Care organization. In addition, it is the delegacy of power to the rightprofessional so that the patient will receive the best support possible from the correctprofessional. In case of Mrs. M and the care manager Joe there was a miscommunication and3
lack of understanding of how severe the health of condition of Mrs. M is, reveals the fact that theAkari Care partnership is not always effective and successful. Further, the issue of professionalcarelessness and the poor communication between them had undermined the effectiveness ofpartnership in health and social care. At the same time, partnership in Akari Care beingintegrated in one organization increases the risk of manipulation and misuse of partnership foradvantages of firm, instead for benefits of service users. Therefore, through this case it has beenproven that this type of partnership can be extremely unsafe for patients (Robert, Cornwell andGager, 2015). 1.2: Evaluate partnership relationships within health and social care servicesThe concept of partnership working is of utmost importance in provisioning effectivehealth and social care related services to the users. It thereby has distinct levels of partnershipworking with a foremost level which is itself created by the service users. It involves therelationship among the patients, professionals as well as the organization like Akari Care Ltd.This is mainly in context to all of these 3 bodies with a vital partnership of the service user. Thismakes yet another important consideration for other professional bodies to effectively serve theusers and maintain their dignity. Another partnership level of professionals include collaboration among differentprofessionals who are known to work for improving the life of a service user (Pearson andWatson, 2018). This is for instance on considering the involvement of more than oneprofessional body, such as, a therapy team including an occupational therapist, clinicalpsychologist, speech and language therapist along with a nursing team to handle some sort ofdisability. Considering the present case of Mrs M, she also requires different aids from a wide-ranging team of professionals depicting such a collaborative level of partnership.Lastly, an organizational level of partnership also exists among the professionals operatingin different HSC establishments. They hereby work in partnership for providing care to acommon service user. This is for example on referring to the involvement of a nursing care homelike Akari Care Ltd to take care of Mrs. M and any other local council or authority and charitabletrusts, etc. All of these 3 levels of partnership depict the contribution of several organizationalbodies concerned with a single aspect of provisioning effective care to the users. This oftenrepresents yet another prime involvement of family member as well. 4
