MAIN BODY
Reflective easy social and welfare policies impacted on the own personal and professional
practice.
Social care, health and well-being policies are consists of guidelines, principle, legislation
and activities which are affect own personal and professional practice. The social policy is an
inclusive disciplinary, that's mean to provide solutions to address needs of social life. Holistic
policy is an approach to life, rather than focusing on illness or specific part of body. There are
five main aspects of personal health such as physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and social.
An example of holistic in health care which has focuses on the health of the entire body and
mind, not just particular part of body (Abramovitz, 2017). It is important to care for all people
and to see them. Health care in the United Kingdom is developed matter meaning England,
Northern Ireland and the UK government sponsored universal health care system which is called
national health services. The quality of care one of the key focuses of the NHS “ National
Health Services policy”. The NHS plan to promise more power and collect information for
patients. I learn about the national health services, this provides the best health care services in
different regions like holistic perspective.
The NHS system and practice recognize the whole person first like mind, emotions, etc.
Doctor has provided the proper services to patient in effective manner (Pinker, 2019). They
highly take care of their patient in effective manner, this give impact on the personal and
professional practice. The main aim of national health services is to provide the proper and best
holistic treatment to people. My personal practice is not to misbehave with people as per regions,
colour, gender etc. to give the proper respect to each person. This practice helps to me in
2

understanding the problems which are faced by individuals in proper manner. One more thing
which is impacting me in positive manner, that is treated equally all people (Holistic health care,
2018).
This also impacted to professional practice is to give proper treatment to holistic patient
and people. As per professional behaviour it is very important for me to understand and fulfil
own responsibility in proper manner. Professional practice is not allowed me to do any
misbehaviour with holistic people and perceptive. This impacted to professional practice, this
allows me to behave respectfully with every people (Powell, 2019). I have learned that, in
professional life religion, colour, gender, status and caste are not plays any role. In the
professional practice only matters their work responsibilities and its outcomes. Social care policy
suggest me how to deal with current problems in the health care system. This helped me in my
professional life and growth. It is highly beneficial for me and also for my professional goals. I
have gratefully learned this policy and through this I developed my professionalism in the social
care sector.
National health services, is social care provider to people in effective manner. This policy
impacted me personal and professional life or practice in positive manner. The main purpose of
this policy is to behave respectfully and this states that don't compare people as per religion and
other basis (Rhodes, 2016). Practical implication of both policy in personal and professional
practice is very effective for my future growth. I have implemented this practice in my personal
life through personal interaction with people and asking their problems and trying to understand
them. I tried not to neglect or avoid people and give respect to them in proper manner. On the
other hand, in professional life firstly, I asked questions to patients and listened their problems
related to health care. I make proper focus on responsibilities in order to complete this
responsibility of my profession. Through that, I will give proper respect to people and give the
best treatment. I will try to give treatment to people with a holistic perceptive including their
physical, psychological and social needs.
This develops my complete professionalism. Through this, I have learned the most
effective thing in this professional is that holistic approach is more than just treating person's
illness. In this only matter their responsibility towards health, social and psychological needs of
people (Taylor-Gooby, 2016). The social policy, national health services i.e. care of policy have
3

a impact on my personal and professional practice in proper manner. This helps me in
development, both personally and practically. This is best and effective for me.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it had been concluded that the social and welfare policy has
consisted with proper guideline. The national healthcare service policy has the main aim to
provide proper and best treatment services to patients. This helped for making proper focused on
people health like physical, mental, emotional health of people in proper manner. It had been
impacted on my personal and professional practice. Personally, it suggested to me, to give
respect to each people and don't done misbehaviour with people. Professionally it gave various
knowledge and information about behaviour, respects, managing concepts in proper manner. It
had been concluded that, this policy gives me proper suggestions for work and behaving
respectfully with others and gave proper treatment to people without considering their religion,
colour, gender, caste and holistic perceptive. In the professional life holistic perceptive does not
matter, here has only mattered their work and responsibilities.
