Healthcare Essentials: Induction Training for Carehome Staff

This report provides a comprehensive overview of essential induction training for carehome staff in the UK healthcare system. It begins by outlining the three branches of government involved in healthcare policy formulation, emphasizing the roles of the legislative, judiciary, and executive branches, and their impact on care home operations. The report then delves into relevant national policies, the significance of the National Health Service, and the role of key regulatory bodies. It addresses ethical dilemmas in medical practices, emphasizing the importance of safe and non-discriminatory practices. The report provides an overview of the existing healthcare infrastructure, detailing long-term care services, and relevant policies and legislatures, including the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NICE. It also examines the Human Rights Laws and their impact on the healthcare setting, and the importance of special training for improving the medical infrastructure, including the adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The report is supported by references to key literature in the field, offering a robust resource for understanding the complexities of carehome staff training and the broader healthcare landscape.

ESSENTIALS FOR CAREHOME STAFFS-
Induction training of employees
It can be rightfully stated that the last two decades of the twentieth
century has brought insignificant changes in the total heath care
system in England, and rapid developments in regards the quality and quantity of heath care
workers, the nature of their practice, the payroll of these professionals which in turn has
completely redefined the medical structure of the country (Ducket and
Willcox, 2015)
 Understanding of the three Branches of the Government
involved in Healthcare policy formulation:
One of the core principles of designing health care policies is that the
policymakers must be objective in his/her views and completely
dispassionate in their appeal. The three branches of Government stand
equally important while developing health care policies by health care homes. Social care
practitioners hold greater responsibility in working in compliance with these policies. Thus
the care home staffs must. The employees must understand that the medical structure has of
England has strong public as well as private control (Gulliford and Morgan, 2013).
The legislative branch is set to determine the how much of the these heath care policies
would be funded by the government, the methods or methodologies which can be adapted to
bring in necessary changes in the training of medical practitioners by subsidizing the raters of
training course for health care workers. The care home staffs also need to consult the
legislature regarding varied clinical aspects like use of controlled substance and must ensure
to completely abide by the given rules (Greer, et al. 2013). The legislative landscape of UK’s
health care policy outlines the principles of good health practices and lays greater emphasis
of conducting proper healthcare research in compliance with the legal requirements to meet
the expected standards of performance. This policy framework has been necessarily
implemented in a collaborative manner, initiating a partnership between four UK Health
Departments and is applicable in England, Northern Island, Scotland and Wales.
The judiciary branch is completely delegated towards interpreting laws related with health
care initiatives. The medical practitioners need to aware of these laws while implementing
any medical or health care strategies in the medical institutions. For instance the antitrust
law completely deals with exposing the illegal and unacceptable practices of the health care
professionals when certain expected standards are not met. The Health and Social Care Act
2012 completely pertains to taking special care on regulating adult health and social care
services by the health care homes and medicinal institutions.

While the executive or in other words the administrative branch is assigned with the
development of varied significant rules and keeping a strict check on implementation of
theses rules by the medical practitioners in executing their health care programs.
 Relevant National Policies pertaining to Health care services and its significance:
UK’s health care and medical infrastructural system is considered one of the
most prominent and well developed, significant amongst others. The key concern of
National Health Services is to have no compromise in the quality of health care
facility. The health care insurance is regulated by mainly 3 primary bodies in
England. The Healthcare Commission, the Commission for Social Care Inspection
and The Mental Health Act Commission. After the enactment of the Social Care Act
2012, there came in a substantial change in way the medical practitioners operated in
England. Sufficient Budget allocation is very much needed and given considerable
importance for local community welfare. Moreover there have been special provisions
made for the disabled with a special Disability Allowance and Attendance Allowance
(Lindsay and Houston, 2013) for individuals with special care need requirement.
 Ethical dilemmas in medical practices and how to tackle it:
The health care practitioners must understand the importance of their profession and preserve
the sanctity of the same. There is certain core medical issues which often make the medical
practitioners perplex and extremely tensed. For instance in case of removing life support
system of any brain-dead patient or caring for patients with little or no insurance. The UK
laws do not allow for Euthanasia (Menon, 2013), the medical practitioners need to be aware
of these concerns.
 Safe and non-discriminatory practices by health care professionals:
Undue discrimination often acts as a barrier in developing the overall health index in a
nation. Thus the health care structure in UK follows a universal approach. As already
mentioned there are varied special provisions for the disabled population it also caters
to several other developmental health care policies for individuals who are not the
primary residents of UK with a European Health Insurance card. The National Health
Service England takes special care to check that the local areas receive adequate
resources to tackle inequalities and there is a reduced disparity in access and outcome
by gender, disability, age, socio-economic status and ethnicity.
 An overview on the existing health care infrastructure of the nation:
Health Care system in the United Kingdom is quite a successful structure that is be it
in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Whales each have their own private and
publicly-funded holistic and complementary treatment amenities. Most of the Long-
term care (LTC) is publically funded. It can be noted that formal LTC services
basically includes residential as well as institutional care, day care, home-based care
services, professional support services such as social work or occupational therapy, or
aids and adaptations (Cristiano, Jose-Luis Fernandez, and Raphael Wittenberg 2015).
This can be accounted as a very essential initiative by the governing bodies because of

the overcrowding of beds in hospitals and in cases where special home care service is
very essential.
 Relevant policies and legislatures for improving health and care setting:
The Care Quality Commission (CQC ) keeps a regular check on the adult social care
services in England. The medical infrastructure in UK calls for registration of all
including institutions as well as individual partnerships along with solo practitioners,
who must be registered with the CQC. The CQC is responsible to monitor the
performances based on certain basic set quality standards as well as take continuous
feedback of the patient as well. NICE is responsible for developing quality standard
concern for the overall primary, secondary as well as social care homes.
 The Human Rights Laws implicated in UK and its impact on the health care
setting:
UK provides immense importance to respecting,
protecting and promoting individual’s right. Special
emphasis is given on the disadvantaged population
with providing subsidized residential care homes are
provided to
individuals
who fall
under the
bracket of old
age by the
Aged Care Assessment Team. UK specifically
incorporates the policy on non-racial
discrimination for ensuring equality and all
around development of the population
 Special training for improving the existing medical
infrastructure:
As the technology is continuously evolving thus the
medical practitioners must be more oriented towards using
these technologies to reach to the patients in a much easier
quicker and smarter manner. The medical industry in UK is
continuously working towards employing Artificial
Intelligence and is simultaneously providing technological
advancement training to the medical employees as well.
